David Vrabel 667a0a06c9 mm: provide a find_special_page vma operation 
The optional find_special_page VMA operation is used to lookup the
pages backing a VMA.  This is useful in cases where the normal
mechanisms for finding the page don't work.  This is only called if
the PTE is special.

One use case is a Xen PV guest mapping foreign pages into userspace.

In a Xen PV guest, the PTEs contain MFNs so get_user_pages() (for
example) must do an MFN to PFN (M2P) lookup before it can get the
page.  For foreign pages (those owned by another guest) the M2P lookup
returns the PFN as seen by the foreign guest (which would be
completely the wrong page for the local guest).

This cannot be fixed up improving the M2P lookup since one MFN may be
mapped onto two or more pages so getting the right page is impossible
given just the MFN.
