Michael S. Tsirkin 7197fb4058 util/mmap-alloc: fix hugetlb support on ppc64
Since commit 8561c9244d "exec: allocate PROT_NONE pages on top of
RAM", it is no longer possible to back guest RAM with hugepages on ppc64
hosts:

mmap(NULL, 285212672, PROT_NONE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) =
0x3fff57000000
mmap(0x3fff57000000, 268435456, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE,
MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_FIXED, 19, 0) = -1 EBUSY (Device or resource busy)

This is because on ppc64, Linux fixes a page size for a virtual address
at mmap time, so we can't switch a range of memory from anonymous
small pages to hugetlbs with MAP_FIXED.

See commit d0f13e3c20b6fb73ccb467bdca97fa7cf5a574cd
("[POWERPC] Introduce address space "slices"") in Linux
history for the details.

Detect this and create the PROT_NONE mapping using the same fd.

Naturally, this makes the guard page bigger with hugetlbfs.

Based on patch by Greg Kurz.

Michael S. Tsirkin 794e8f301a exec: factor out duplicate mmap code
Anonymous and file-backed RAM allocation are now almost exactly the same.

Reduce code duplication by moving RAM mmap code out of oslib-posix.c and
exec.c.
