The assumption made here is that mem_map is contiguous for the range of
pages in the hugetlb page.  I do not believe you can make this assumption
for (gigantic) hugetlb pages which are > MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES.  For example,

/*
 * Gigantic pages are so large that we do not guarantee that page++ pointer
 * arithmetic will work across the entire page.  We need something more
 * specialized.
 */
static void __copy_gigantic_page(struct page *dst, struct page *src,
                                int nr_pages)
