xen/xenpaging.runtime_mru_size.patch

Subject: xenpaging: specify policy mru_size at runtime

The environment variable XENPAGING_POLICY_MRU_SIZE will change the mru_size in
the policy at runtime.
Specifying the mru_size at runtime allows the admin to keep more pages in
memory so guests can make more progress.  Its also good for development to
reduce the value to put more pressure on the paging related code paths.
