Subject: [PATCH 0/2] hugetlb fixes

As everyone knows, hugetlbfs sucks.  But it is also necessary for
large memory machines, so we should make it suck less.  Top of my list
were lack of rss accounting and refusing mmap with MAP_HUGETLB when
using hugetlbfs.  The latter generally created a know in every brain I
explained this to.

Test program below is failing before these two patches and passing
after.

Joern Engel (2):
  hugetlb: properly account rss
  mmap: allow MAP_HUGETLB for hugetlbfs files
