When I hacking arch/x86/mm/hugetlbpage.c like this,
diff --git a/arch/x86/mm/hugetlbpage.c b/arch/x86/mm/hugetlbpage.c
index ae1aa71..87f34ee 100644
--- a/arch/x86/mm/hugetlbpage.c

printk(KERN_ERR "hugepagesz: Unsupported page size %lu M\n",
ps >> 20);

I set boot=hugepagesz=1G hugepages=10, then I got 10 32MB huge pages.
What's the difference between these pages which I hacking and normal
huge pages?
