Subject: [PATCH v11 11/11] mm/hugetlb: Optimize the code with the help of the compiler

We cannot optimize if a "struct page" crosses page boundaries. If
it is true, we can optimize the code with the help of a compiler.
When free_vmemmap_pages_per_hpage() returns zero, most functions are
optimized by the compiler.
