it ought to be possible to get pretty much the same API as hugetlbfs via the 'hugetlb zone' approach too. It doesnt really change the API and FS side, it only impacts the allocator internally. So if you can utilize hugetlbfs, you should be able to utilize a 'special zone' approach pretty much the same way.
