hugepage patches
Gentlemen, I have a bunch of patches here which fix various bugs in the
interaction between hugepages and other kernel functions.
The main impact on hugetlbpage impementations is:
- hugepages are no longer PG_reserved
- hugepages must be page_cache_got in the follow_page() function
- need to implement either hugepage_vma()/follow_huge_addr() or
pmd_huge()/follow_huge_pmd(), depending on whether a page's hugeness can be
determined via pmd inspection. Implementations of both schemes for ia32
are here.
The code is not heavily tested or reviewed at this time.
