    [PATCH v5 1/5] Add support for splitblock.

    When --split option is specified, fair I/O workloads shoud be assigned
    for each process. So the start and end pfn of each dumpfile should be
    calculated with excluding unnecessary pages. However, it costs a lot of
    time to execute excluding for the whole memory. That is why struct
    SplitBlock exists. Struct SplitBlock is designed to manage memory, main
    for recording the number of dumpable pages. We can use the number of
    dumpable pages to calculate start and end pfn instead of execute exclud
    for the whole memory.

    The char array *table in struct SplitBlock is used to record the number
    dumpable pages.
    The table entry size is calculated as
                            divideup(log2(splitblock_size / page_size), 8)
    The table entry size is calculated, so that the
    space table taken will be small enough. And the code will also have a
    good performence when the number of pages in one splitblock is big enou
