David Hildenbrand 228957fea3 virtio-mem: Probe THP size to determine default block size
Let's allow a minimum block size of 1 MiB in all configurations. Select
the default block size based on
- The page size of the memory backend.
- The THP size if the memory backend size corresponds to the real host
  page size.
- The global minimum of 1 MiB.
and warn if something smaller is configured by the user.

VIRTIO_MEM only supports Linux (depends on LINUX), so we can probe the
THP size unconditionally.

For now we only support virtio-mem on x86-64 - there isn't a user-visible
change (x86-64 only supports 2 MiB THP on the PMD level) - the default
was, and will be 2 MiB.

If we ever have THP on the PUD level (e.g., 1 GiB THP on x86-64), we
expect it to be more transparent - e.g., to only optimize fully populated
ranges unless explicitly told /configured otherwise (in contrast to PMD
THP).
