I wonder if generic hugetlb_get_unmapped_area needs to have the
arch_get_mmap_end() added.
arm64 has arch_get_mmap_end() and !HAVE_ARCH_HUGETLB_UNMAPPED_AREA so
it looks like it has broken large address hint logic for hugetlbfs
mappings? x86-64 defines their own and does the same hinting for
normal and hugetlbfs mmap.
If we had that and defied arch_get_mmap_end(), then this patch should
work.
Thanks,
Nick
