Hi Jan,

Any chance you can get the contents of /sys/kernel/mm/hugepages
before and after the first run of libhugetlbfs testsuite on Power?
Perhaps a script like:

cd /sys/kernel/mm/hugepages
for f in hugepages-*/*; do
	n=`cat $f`;
	echo -e "$n\t$f";
done

Just want to make sure the numbers look as they should.
