This is kinda a FAQ at this point. But, the thing I generally suggest
is that you allocate hugetlbfs memory or anonymous transparent huge
pages in your applciation via the _normal_ mechanisms, and then hand a
pointer to that in to your driver.
It's backwards from how you're doing it now, but it makes things easier
down the road.
