Here's my first cut of a faster superpage mapping scheme.  It uses a separate 
superpage table to track mappings of superpages and mappings that conflict with 
using a superpage.

One new feature of this code is that it requires that every superpage be 
allocated to a domain with a single call.  This ensures that every page in the 
superpage is allocated to the same domain.
