Add a test for page splitting during dirty logging and for hugepage recovery after dirty logging. Page splitting represents non-trivial behavior, which is complicated by MANUAL_PROTECT mode, which causes pages to be split on the first clear, instead of when dirty logging is enabled. Add a test which makes assertions about page counts to help define the expected behavior of page splitting and to provide needed coverage of the behavior. This also helps ensure that a failure in eager page splitting is not covered up by splitting in the vCPU path. Tested by running the test on an Intel Haswell machine w/wo MANUAL_PROTECT.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
