Yesterday I couldn't think of a way to avoid the
page_header/kvm_mmu_page_get_gfn on every iteration, but it's actually
not hard. Instead of passing hva as datum, you can pass (unsigned long)
&start. Then you can add PAGE_SIZE to it at the end of every call to
kvm_age_rmapp, and keep the old tracing logic.
