Subject: [PATCH v11 02/11] mm/hugetlb: Introduce a new config HUGETLB_PAGE_FREE_VMEMMAP

The HUGETLB_PAGE_FREE_VMEMMAP option is used to enable the freeing
of unnecessary vmemmap associated with HugeTLB pages. The config
option is introduced early so that supporting code can be written
to depend on the option. The initial version of the code only
provides support for x86-64.

Like other code which frees vmemmap, this config option depends on
HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE. The routine register_page_bootmem_info() is
used to register bootmem info. Therefore, make sure
register_page_bootmem_info is enabled if HUGETLB_PAGE_FREE_VMEMMAP
is defined.

+	  The option HUGETLB_PAGE_FREE_VMEMMAP allows for the freeing of
+	  some vmemmap pages associated with pre-allocated HugeTLB pages.
+	  For example, on X86_64 6 vmemmap pages of size 4KB each can be
+	  saved for each 2MB HugeTLB page.  4094 vmemmap pages of size 4KB
+	  each can be saved for each 1GB HugeTLB page.
+
+	  When a HugeTLB page is allocated or freed, the vmemmap array
+	  representing the range associated with the page will need to be
+	  remapped.  When a page is allocated, vmemmap pages are freed
+	  after remapping.  When a page is freed, previously discarded
+	  vmemmap pages must be allocated before remapping.
