Actually, I think (based upon the context) that your fix is slightly
different. Your fix puts hugepages_supported() under CONFIG_HUGETLBFS.
Andrew's puts it under CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE. I think they are effectively
tied together as options go, but it semantically makes more sense with
CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE.

Thanks,
