Strange hugepages result?

Hi, Matthew!

I got a funny result from the hugepages selftest when trying to break out some functionality from shmem to make a ttm page pool for cached-only TTM system bos.

It turns out that shmem computed the pagesizes using the underlying pages rather than the dma segments, so when I changed that, hugepages started failing.

But when hacking the page-size computation to use the underlying pages, it's fine again

It seems like some assumption about huge dma segments is wrong, either in our page-size calculation, in the selftest or in the actual huge page setup. Could it be that huge sized segments are assumed to be properly aligned?
