Subject: [PATCH 0/2] Report the pagesize backing VMAs in /proc

The following two patches add support for printing the size used for
hugepage-backed regions. This can be used by a user to verify that a
hugepage-aware application is using the expected page sizes.

The first patch should not be considered too contensious as it is highly
unlikely to break any parsers. There is a possibility that the second patch
will break parsers that arguably are already broken. More details are in
the patches themselves.
