-What: Ability for non root users to shm_get hugetlb pages based on mlock
- resource limits
-When: 2.6.31
-Why: Non root users need to be part of /proc/sys/vm/hugetlb_shm_group or
- have CAP_IPC_LOCK to be able to allocate shm segments backed by
- huge pages. The mlock based rlimit check to allow shm hugetlb is
- inconsistent with mmap based allocations. Hence it is being
