Support huge (PMD-size and PUD-size) page-table entries by providing a huge_fault() callback. We still support private mappings and write-notify by splitting the huge page-table entries on write-access. Note that for huge page-faults to occur, either the kernel needs to be compiled with trans-huge-pages always enabled, or the kernel needs to be compiled with trans-huge-pages enabled using madvise, and the user-space app needs to call madvise() to enable trans-huge pages on a per-mapping basis. Furthermore huge page-faults will not succeed unless buffer objects and user-space addresses are aligned on huge page size boundaries.
