vmm: Enable THP when using anonymous memory

Browse source 
If the memory is not backed by a file then it is possible to enable
Transparent Huge Pages on the memory and take advantage of the benefits
of huge pages without requiring the specific allocation of an appropriate
number of huge pages.

TEST=Boot and see that in /proc/`pidof cloud-hypervisor`/smaps that the
region is now THPeligible (and that also pages are being used.)
