This solution limits the size of a HugeTLB page to 16G. I'm not sure
if there are any architectures that support HugeTLB pages larger than
16G (it looks like powerpc supports 16G). If they do, I think we can
just increase the value of COMPOUND_MAPPED. If that's not possible, we
would need another solution than participating in _nr_pages_mapped
like THPs.
