After thinking about it some more, I would actually prefer this. The
callsites have all the information and the file setup code should not
really care about the alignment requirements of the callers.
I.e. export something like get_hstate_idx() but which returns hstate,
then make the callers look it up, do the alignment, pass in the
aligned size and hstate instead of page_size_log. Then they are free
to use the aligned size (mmap) or use the original size (shm).

Thanks, I appreciate it. But usually if you take and modify a patch
add the original From: line to the changelog to give credit, then add
your own signoff and only add other people's signoff after they agree.

You always assume the file will just be one hugepage in size?
