4 * system call with MAP_HUGETLB flag. Before running this program make
5 * sure the administrator has allocated enough default sized huge pages
6 * to cover the 256 MB allocation.
8 * For ia64 architecture, Linux kernel reserves Region number 4 for hugepages.
9 * That means the addresses starting with 0x800000... will need to be
10 * specified. Specifying a fixed address is not required on ppc64, i386
