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.
When hugepage vmalloc mappings are enabled in the next patch, this
reduces TLB misses by nearly 30x on a `git diff` workload on a 2-node
POWER9 (59,800 -> 2,100) and reduces CPU cycles by 0.54%.
This can result in more internal fragmentation and memory overhead for a
given allocation, an option nohugevmalloc is added to disable at boot.

array_size() is a function in include/linux/overflow.h
For some reason, it breaks the build with your series.
I can't see the replacement definition for array_size.
The old local variable is deleted.
Yeah I saw that after taking another look. Must have sent in a bad diff.
The v11 fixed that and a couple of other compile issues.
Thanks,
Nick
