In my words i would say "It enables mysql to use super-pages/large-pages".
i asked the question wrong. the right should be "how does it do". Because i am not aware about any user level interface in FreeBSD to explicitly request superpage mapping.
The complete documentation is here https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/large-page-support.html Florian
