mm/vmalloc: hugepage vmalloc mappings
Support huge page vmalloc mappings. Config option HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_VMALLOC
enables support on architectures that define HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_VMAP and
supports PMD sized vmap mappings.
vmalloc will attempt to allocate PMD-sized pages if allocating PMD size or
larger, and fall back to small pages if that was unsuccessful.
Architectures must ensure that any arch specific vmalloc allocations that
require PAGE_SIZE mappings (e.g., module allocations vs strict module rwx)
use the VM_NOHUGE flag to inhibit larger mappings.
This can result in more internal fragmentation and memory overhead for a
given allocation, an option nohugevmalloc is added to disable at boot.
