Can't say I'm entirely happy with the continued direction of maze of
functions for huge page allocation :( Feels like path of least resistance to
basically copy/paste the missing parts here. Is there no way to consolidate
the code more?

Ok, I will spend some time to read the code and think about it.

If you have interest, please do it too. :)

Thanks
