Only parts of our products wants this feature, we add some interfaces which

nohugevmalloc
for most products is expensive, so this is the reason for adding the patch.
more config/cmdline are more flexible for test/products,
But why do only some products want it? What goes wrong if all products
enable it? Features should be auto-tuning, not relying on admins to
understand them.
Because this feature will use more memory for vmalloc/vmap, that's why
we add some explicit
interfaces as said above in our kernel to control the user.
