Hi Peter,

Tiny documentation tweak: could the above line please be changed to
something approximately like this:

"Remove __unmap_hugepage_range() from the header file, because it is
only used in the .c file."

?

Because: "drop it in" is so close to "drop it into" (which means, "add
it to"), that it's actually reading a lot like the opposite of what you
intend to say.

The change itself looks accurate for the current top of tree, so:
