Dunno, hard to believe that hugetlb support wasn't there in 6.4.  A quick
troll through the RHEL 6.5 and 6.6 release notes finds something about
better hugetlb support for System Z processors, but what we're discussing
here shouldn't be architecture-specific.

You might try comparing /usr/include/sys/mman.h, /usr/include/bits/mman.h,
and /usr/include/features.h between your 6.4 and 6.6 systems to see if
you can spot any relevant differences.
