I was hoping to spread as many of these around as possible so I don't
end up with a giant pull request to Linus.  There is code out there
without a clear maintainership path, so eventually I'll have to send
some his way (or via akpm) but the less that end up in that pile, the
better IMHO.

It looks like the hugetlb init level change upset one of the automated
qemu 0-day boot tests, so I need to investigate that next.
