I am restricting the size to huge TLB order and larger because the hypercalls are too expensive to be performing one per 4K page. Using the huge TLB order became the obvious choice for the order to use as it allows us to avoid fragmentation of higher order memory on the host. I have limited the functionality so that it doesn't work when page poisoning is enabled. I did this because a write to the page after doing an MADV_DONTNEED would effectively negate the hint, so it would be wasting cycles to do so.
