This adds a new ksm (kernel samepage merging) test to evaluate the new smart scan feature. It allocates a page and fills it with 'a' characters. It captures the pages_skipped counter, waits for a few iterations and captures the pages_skipped counter again. The expectation is that over 50% of the page scans are skipped (There is only one page that has KSM enabled and it gets scanned during each iteration and it cannot be de-duplicated).
