Oh, right, we need the memmap for our hugetlb page (which resides in the
reserved section), but these are not marked. We need the memmap of that
memmap.

I assume one could directly via the page address. Because we want the
memmap of the memmap.

vmmemmap_page = virt_to_page(head);

Not sure, though, if that would work with that function.
