We're getting very close to a 2.6.18 release and 64kB pages are still
quite experimental, so I'm putting all the 64kB pagesize related fixes
into the queue branch. 16kB by now has a few users, so I give it
higher priority.
I've been promised hugetlbfs since quite a while but that somehow never
materialized. Or maybe that's just because the runtime generated TLB
exception handlers killed the patches ;-)
