Adds support for the "unused" page hint which can be used in shared memory partitions to flag pages not in use, which will then be stolen before active pages by the hypervisor when memory needs to be moved to LPARs in need of additional memory. Failure to mark pages as 'unused' makes the LPAR slower to give up unused memory to other partitions. This adds the kernel parameter 'cmo_free_hint' to disable this functionality. Signed-off-by:
