Fixing MAP_HUGETLB is not as easy as it seems to be. Its value
is different in each arch:

./arch/powerpc/include/uapi/asm/mman.h:#define MAP_HUGETLB 0x40000    
     /* create a huge page mapping */
./arch/alpha/include/uapi/asm/mman.h:#define MAP_HUGETLB 0x100000    /* 
create a huge page mapping */
./arch/xtensa/include/uapi/asm/mman.h:#define MAP_HUGETLB 0x80000        
/* create a huge page mapping */
./arch/tile/include/uapi/asm/mman.h:#define MAP_HUGETLB    0x4000     /* 
create a huge page mapping */
./arch/parisc/include/uapi/asm/mman.h:#define MAP_HUGETLB 0x80000        
/* create a huge page mapping */
./arch/sparc/include/uapi/asm/mman.h:#define MAP_HUGETLB 0x40000        
/* create a huge page mapping */
./arch/mips/include/uapi/asm/mman.h:#define MAP_HUGETLB 0x80000        
/* create a huge page mapping */
./include/uapi/asm-generic/mman.h:#define MAP_HUGETLB    0x40000     /* 
create a huge page mapping */

So we need to introduce another header into tools for this macro. Sigh...

Thank you.
