It is beneficial for certain user space processes to use huge pages for
their process stacks rather than small pages.
Presently there is no way for a process to do this. This patch set
introduces a method for putting user space process stacks on huge pages.
It adds a personality flag that requests huge page backed stacks. A
user space utility will be required to set the personality flag before
calling exec with for the target process.
