Oh, I missed the subject info completely. Sorry about that.

So, the issue really seems to be introduced by patch:

 hugetlb-ensure-hugepage-access-is-denied-if-hugepages-are-not-supported.patch

And the problem is that UML doesn't define HPAGE_SHIFT. The following patch
fixes it, but I'll let Nishanth decide what to do here.

diff --git a/include/linux/hugetlb.h b/include/linux/hugetlb.h
