Subject: [PATCH 1/9] struct page: add field for vm_struct
When a page is used for virtual memory, it is often necessary to obtain
a handler to the corresponding vm_struct, which refers to the virtually
continuous area generated when invoking vmalloc.
The struct page has a "mapping" field, which can be re-used, to store a
pointer to the parent area.
This will avoid more expensive searches, later on.
