Runtime options are bad enough, Kconfig and boot options are even worse. The 'nohugevmalloc' option mirrors 'nohugeiomap' and is not expected to ever be understood by an administrator unless a kernel developer is working with them to hunt down a regression. IMO there should be no new options. You could switch it off for CONFIG_BASE_SMALL perhaps, and otherwise just try to work on heuristics first. Bring in new options once it's proven they're needed. Aside from that, thanks for working on these ports, great work. Thanks, Nick
