The hugepages= entry in kernel-parameters.txt states that
1GB pages can only be allocated at boot time and not
freed afterwards. This is not true since commit
944d9fec8d7aee, at least for x86_64.
Instead of adding arch-specifc observations to the
hugepages= entry, this commit just drops the out of date
information. Further information about arch-specific
support and available features can be obtained in the
hugetlb documentation.
