[RFC][PATCH] hugetlbfs read support

[Badari Pulavarty <pbadari@us.ibm.com>]

Comments/flames ?

Thanks,
Badari

Support for reading from hugetlbfs files. libhugetlbfs lets application
text/data to be placed in large pages. When we do that, oprofile doesn't
work - since it tries to read from it.

This code is very similar to what do_generic_mapping_read() does, but
I can't use it since it has PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumptions. Christoph
Lamater's cleanup to pagecache would hopefully give me all of this.
