make /proc/$pid/numa_maps gather_stats() take variable page size
commit eb4866d0066ffd5446751c102d64feb3318d8bd1 upstream. We need to teach the numa_maps code about transparent huge pages. The first step is to teach gather_stats() that the pte it is dealing with might represent more than one page. Note that will we use this in a moment for transparent huge pages since they have use a single pmd_t which _acts_ as a "surrogate" for a bunch of smaller pte_t's. I'm a _bit_ unhappy that this interface counts in hugetlbfs page sizes for hugetlbfs pages and PAGE_SIZE for normal pages. That means that to figure out how many _bytes_ "dirty=1" means, you must first know the hugetlbfs page size. That's easier said than done especially if you don't have visibility in to the mount. But, that's probably a discussion for another day especially since it would change behavior to fix it. But, just in case anyone wonders why this patch only passes a '1' in the hugetlb case...
