Randy Dunlap 70bace8c1e Documentation/vm/: split txt and source files
Documentation/vm/:
Expose example and tool source files in the Documentation/ directory in
their own files instead of being buried (almost hidden) in readme/txt files.
This should help to prevent bitrot.

This will make them more visible/usable to users who may need
to use them, to developers who may need to test with them, and
to anyone who would fix/update them if they were more visible.

Also, if any of these possibly should not be in the kernel tree at
all, it will be clearer that they are here and we can discuss if
they should be removed.

Also build the recently-added map_hugetlb.c.
Make several functions static to prevent linker warnings.

/*
* hugepage-mmap:
*
* Example of using huge page memory in a user application using the mmap
* system call. Before running this application, make sure that the
* administrator has mounted the hugetlbfs filesystem (on some directory
* like /mnt) using the command mount -t hugetlbfs nodev /mnt. In this
* example, the app is requesting memory of size 256MB that is backed by
* huge pages.
*
* For the ia64 architecture, the Linux kernel reserves Region number 4 for
* huge pages. That means that if one requires a fixed address, a huge page
* aligned address starting with 0x800000... will be required. If a fixed
* address is not required, the kernel will select an address in the proper
* range.
* Other architectures, such as ppc64, i386 or x86_64 are not so constrained.
