 follow_huge_addr()

I think this patch is a waste of time: that it should be replaced
by a patch which replaces the "write" argument by a "flags" argument,
so that follow_huge_addr() can do get_page() for FOLL_GET while holding
appropriate lock, instead of the BUG_ON(flags & FOLL_GET) we currently
have.

Once that is implemented, you could try getting hugetlb migration
tested on ia64 and powerpc; but yes, keep hugetlb migration disabled
on all but x86 until it has been tested elsewhere.
