Andy Whitcroft c37f9fb11c hugetlb: allow huge page mappings to be created without reservations 
By default all shared mappings and most private mappings now have
reservations associated with them.  This improves semantics by providing
allocation guarentees to the mapper.  However a small number of
applications may attempt to make very large sparse mappings, with these
strict reservations the system will never be able to honour the mapping.

This patch set brings MAP_NORESERVE support to hugetlb files.  This allows
new mappings to be made to hugetlbfs files without an associated
reservation, for both shared and private mappings.  This allows
applications which want to create very sparse mappings to opt-out of the
reservation system.  Obviously as there is no reservation they are liable
to fault at runtime if the huge page pool becomes exhausted; buyer beware.
