The preparation of supporting freeing vmemmap associated with each
HugeTLB page is ready, so we can support this feature for arm64.

How does this interact with HugeTLB migration as such which might iterate
over individual constituent struct pages (overriding the same struct page
for all tail pages when this feature is enabled). A simple test involving
madvise(ptr, size, MADV_SOFT_OFFLINE) fails on various HugeTLB page sizes,
with this patch applied. Although I have not debugged this any further.

It is weird. Actually, I didn't change the behaviour of the page migration.
This feature is default off. If you want to enable this feature, you can pass
"hugetlb_free_vmemmap=on" to the boot cmdline. Do you mean that the
success rate of page migration will decrease when you enable this feature?
The rate will increase if disbale. Right?

Thanks.
