Subject: [PATCH 2/3] Helper which returns the huge page at a given address 
	(Take 3)

This patch provides helper function which returns the huge page at a
given address for population before the page has been faulted.
It is possible to call hugetlb_get_user_page function in file mmap
procedure to get pages before they have been requested by user level.
