it ought to be possible to get pretty much the same API as hugetlbfs via
the 'hugetlb zone' approach too. It doesnt really change the API and FS
side, it only impacts the allocator internally. So if you can utilize
hugetlbfs, you should be able to utilize a 'special zone' approach
pretty much the same way.
