From: Shameer Kolothum <shameerali.kolothum.thodi@huawei.com>

Now that we have Eager Page Split support added for ARM in the kernel,
enable it in Qemu. This adds,
 -eager-split-size to -accel sub-options to set the eager page split chunk size.
 -enable KVM_CAP_ARM_EAGER_SPLIT_CHUNK_SIZE.

The chunk size specifies how many pages to break at a time, using a
single allocation. Bigger the chunk size, more pages need to be
allocated ahead of time.

+        KVM implements dirty page logging at the PAGE_SIZE granularity and
+        enabling dirty-logging on a huge-page requires breaking it into
+        PAGE_SIZE pages in the first place. KVM on ARM does this splitting

+        split eagerly, especially in situations where TLBI costs associated
+        with break-before-make sequences are considerable and also if guest
+        workloads are read intensive. The size here specifies how many pages
+        to break at a time and needs to be a valid block size which is
+        1GB/2MB/4KB, 32MB/16KB and 512MB/64KB for 4KB/16KB/64KB PAGE_SIZE
+        respectively. Be wary of specifying a higher size as it will have an
+        impact on the memory. By default, this feature is disabled
