2 * Example of using hugepage memory in a user application using the mmap
3 * system call with MAP_HUGETLB flag. Before running this program make
4 * sure the administrator has allocated enough default sized huge pages
5 * to cover the 256 MB allocation.
7 * For ia64 architecture, Linux kernel reserves Region number 4 for hugepages.
8 * That means the addresses starting with 0x800000... will need to be
9 * specified. Specifying a fixed address is not required on ppc64, i386
10 * or x86_64.
