OK, this makes sense.

but this less so. You surely do not want to move by the full hugetlb
page when you got a tail page, right? You could skip too much. You have
to consider page - head into the equation.

Btw. the reason we haven't seen before is that a) giga pages are rarely
used and b) normale hugepages should be properly aligned and they do not
span more mem sections. Maybe there is some obscure path to trigger this
for CMA but I do not see it.
