Subject: [patch 18/38] mm/vmalloc: Provide huge page mappings

From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@...radead.org>

Provide VM_HUGE_VMAP, which unconditionally tries to use huge
mappings. Unlike VM_ALLOW_HUGE_VMAP it doesn't care about the number
of NUMA nodes or the size of the allocation.

If the page allocator fails to provide huge pages, it will silently
fall back.
