    kvm: Introduce support for -mem-path · 4f958b0b

    Using hugepages, KVM instances can get a good performance boost. To
    activate that, we need to pass the -mem-path argument to KVM along with
    the mount point of the hugetlbfs file system on the node.
    
    For the sake of memory availability computation, we use the -mem-prealloc
    argument when enabling hugepages, so KVM will reserve all hugepages it
    needs when it starts. This avoids allocating an instance on a node that
    will not have enough pages in case other instance needs more than what
    is available after it boots.
