Add a capability for userspace to specify the eager split chunk size.
The chunk size specifies how many pages to break at a time, using a
single allocation. Bigger the chunk size, more pages need to be
allocated ahead of time.

+8.40 KVM_CAP_ARM_EAGER_SPLIT_CHUNK_SIZE
+---------------------------------------
+
+:Capability: KVM_CAP_ARM_EAGER_SPLIT_CHUNK_SIZE
+:Architectures: arm64
+:Type: vm
+:Parameters: arg[0] is the new chunk size.
+:Returns: 0 on success, -EINVAL if any memslot has been created.
+
+This capability sets the chunk size used in Eager Page Splitting.
+
+Eager Page Splitting improves the performance of dirty-logging (used
+in live migrations) when guest memory is backed by huge-pages.  This
+optimization is enabled by default on arm64. It avoids splitting
+huge-pages (into PAGE_SIZE pages) on fault, by doing it eagerly when
+enabling dirty logging (with the KVM_MEM_LOG_DIRTY_PAGES flag for a
+memory region), or when using KVM_CLEAR_DIRTY_LOG.
+
+The chunk size specifies how many pages to break at a time, using a
+single allocation for each chunk. Bigger the chunk size, more pages
+need to be allocated ahead of time. A good heuristic is to pick the
+size of the huge-pages as the chunk size.
+
+If the chunk size (arg[0]) is zero, then no eager page splitting is
+performed. The default value PMD size (e.g., 2M when PAGE_SIZE is 4K).
