------------------------------------------------------
From: Luiz Capitulino <lcapitulino@xxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: hugetlb: fix hugepages= entry in kernel-parameters.txt
The hugepages= entry in kernel-parameters.txt states that 1GB pages can
only be allocated at boot time and not freed afterwards. This is not true
since commit 944d9fec8d7aee, at least for x86_64.
Instead of adding arch-specifc observations to the hugepages= entry, this
commit just drops the out of date information. Further information about
arch-specific support and available features can be obtained in the
hugetlb documentation.
