Subject: [PATCH] Add MAP_HUGETLB for mmaping pseudo-anonymous huge page regions

This patch adds a flag for mmap that will be used to request a huge
page region that will look like anonymous memory to user space.  This
is accomplished by using a file on the internal vfsmount.  MAP_HUGETLB
is a modifier of MAP_ANONYMOUS and so must be specified with it.  The
region will behave the same as a MAP_ANONYMOUS region using small pages.

The patch also adds the MAP_STACK flag, which was previously defined
only on some architectures but not on others. Since MAP_STACK is meant
to be a hint only, architectures can define it without assigning a
specific meaning to it.

two: parisc and xtensa.

It's also done in a different way from the existing flags, which makes
it more likely to break again if someone tries to add another flag.

This patch is more along the lines of how I explained it could be done,
adding the MAP_HUGETLB (and MAP_STACK) flags to the existing lists in
a consistent way.

A logical next step would be to replace the mman.h files that are basically
copies of include/asm-generic/mman.h.
