I jumped the gun with this. While a normal VM backed with huge pages works
with this, a VM which uses VFIO fails to start:
qemu-system-x86_64: -device vfio-pci,host=4d:00.0,multifunction=on,bus=rport.1,addr=00.0,x-no-geforce-quirks=on,id=auto_id28: VFIO_MAP_DMA failed: Cannot allocate memory

qemu-system-x86_64: -device vfio-pci,host=4d:00.0,multifunction=on,bus=rport.1,addr=00.0,x-no-geforce-quirks=on,id=auto_id28: vfio 0000:4d:00.0: failed to setup container for group 81: memory listener
initialization failed: Region mainmem: vfio_dma_map(0x55d21366be70, 0x0, 0x80000000, 0x7fae00000000) = -12 (Cannot allocate memory)
Qemu complains that in-kernel vfio driver can't allocate memory.
(I am a KVM/Qemu developer, but I didn't touch VFIO for long time.)
I use 'default_hugepagesz=1G hugepagesz=1G hugetlb_cma=68G',
just in case I though maybe CMA is also used for other purposes,
and somehow the 64 pages fully use it.
I also tried to run guest with less that 64GB of memory, like
say 16GB - same result.
I storongly suspect that the issue is that, well hugepages were allocated
from CMA are by definition moveable, thus attempt to lock them
which VFIO needs for IOMMU fails.
On top of that I see that warning in dmesg:

This warning also points at inablitly to pin a moveable page.
So close but no cigar.
