Some of us (crazy) people are trying to support read for hugetlbfs
in order to get oprofile work on large-page-backed-executables by
libhugetlbfs.
Currently, I can't use any generic support. I have this ugly patch
to get oprofile work. Christoph's clean ups would allow me to set
per-mapping pagesize and get this to work, without any hacks.
Thanks,
Badari
