I wrote quite a few extensive emails in this thread about how there are
no good, maintainbable solution for libhugetlbfs that I can see. If
there was, I would have written a patch already instead of arguing over
email :-)

reached out earlier. But I cannot do much about that now. I am trying to
find a workable compromise here, that's all.
