Subject[PATCH v8 02/12] mm/hugetlb: Introduce a new config HUGETLB_PAGE_FREE_VMEMMAP
Date
The purpose of introducing HUGETLB_PAGE_FREE_VMEMMAP is to configure
whether to enable the feature of freeing unused vmemmap associated with
HugeTLB pages. And this is just for dependency check. Now only support
x86-64.

Because this config depends on HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE. And the function
of the register_page_bootmem_info() is aimed to register bootmem info.
So we should register bootmem info when this config is enabled.

+ When using HUGETLB_PAGE_FREE_VMEMMAP, the system can save up some
+ memory from pre-allocated HugeTLB pages when they are not used.
+ 6 pages per HugeTLB page of the pmd level mapping and (PAGE_SIZE - 2)
+ pages per HugeTLB page of the pud level mapping.
+
+ When the pages are going to be used or freed up, the vmemmap array
+ representing that range needs to be remapped again and the pages
+ we discarded earlier need to be rellocated again.
