These are two different flags:

HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_VMALLOC allows vmalloc to try to allocate huge pages for
size >= PMD_SIZE, unless it is disabled with nohugeiomap or VM_NO_HUGE_VMAP.

HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_VMALLOC_FLAG allows vmalloc to try to allocate huge pages
for size >= PMD_SIZE, only when the user specifies VM_TRY_HUGE_VMAP. 

Recommendations for better naming will be highly appreciated..
