Large pages will be necessary for some high-priority
work I'm doing, although stability at this point seems
to be an optional extra. (Hence why the patches are
much more important than whether they're actually
finished yet.)

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 ;-)
