looks good to me.
However, this patch can't build on x86_64 mmotm 0923 because it conflict
against fix-vma-display-mismatch-between-proc-pid-mapssmaps.patch
(by Joe Korty <joe.korty@...r.com>).
instead, I tested following rebased version and I confirmed it works well.
===============================================================
From: Mel Gorman <mel@....ul.ie>
This patch adds a new field for hugepage-backed memory regions to show the
pagesize in /proc/pid/maps. While the information is available in smaps,
maps is more human-readable and does not incur the cost of calculating Pss. An
example of a /proc/self/maps output for an application using hugepages with
this patch applied is;

To be predictable for parsers, the patch adds the notion of reporting on VMA
attributes by appending one or more fields that look like "(attribute)". This
already happens when a file is deleted and the user sees (deleted) after the
filename. The expectation is that existing parsers will not break as those
that read the filename should be reading forward after the inode number
and stopping when it sees something that is not part of the filename.
Parsers that assume everything after / is a filename will get confused by
(hpagesize=XkB) but are already broken due to (deleted).
