SubjectRe: More convenient way to grab hugepage memory

Here is a rediff vs. 2.6.6-mm1 (1 reject resolved) with the removal of
the global variables included:


-- wli

At present, getting a block of (quasi-) anonymous memory mapping with
hugepages is a slightly convoluted process, involving creating a dummy
file in a hugetlbfs filesystem.  In particular that means finding
where such a filesystem is mounted, for which there is no standard
mechanism.  Getting hugepage SysV shm segments is easier, just requing
the SHM_HUGETLB flag.  This patch adds an analagous MAP_HUGETLB mmap()
flag to easily request that a block of anonymous memory come from
hugepages.

[The MAP_HUGETLB flag has the side effect that MAP_SHARED semantics
will apply, even if MAP_PRIVATE is specific - but that's no different
to explicitly mapping hugetlbfs].
