vmm: Mark guest RAM pages as mergeable

Browse Source 
In case the VM is started with the flag "--memory mergeable=on", it
means the user expects the guest RAM pages to be marked as mergeable.
This commit relies on the madvise(MADV_MERGEABLE) system call to inform
the host kernel about these pages.
