+=====================================
+
+The most complete set of hugetlb tests are in the libhugetlbfs repository.
+If you modify any hugetlb related code, use the libhugetlbfs test suite
+to check for regressions. In addition, if you add any new hugetlb
+functionality, please add appropriate tests to libhugetlbfs.
