    xen/page_alloc: introduce page flag to stop buddy merging
    
    Add a new PGC_no_buddy_merge flag that prevents the buddy algorithm in
    free_heap_pages() from merging pages that have it set. As of now, only
    PGC_static has this feature, but future work can extend it easier than
    before.
