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.
