The Intel SMTP server keeps dying to me. It's really not fun trying to resend these messages for half an hour without success. I'll resend this series from my private mail in the evening.

> EAL reserves a huge area in virtual address space to provide virtual address
> contiguity for e.g.
> future memory extensions (memory hotplug). During memory hotplug, if
> the hugepage mmap succeeds but doesn't suffice EAL's requiriments, the
> EAL would unmap this mapping straight away, leaving a hole in its virtual
> memory area and making it available to everyone. As EAL still thinks it owns
> the entire region, it may try to mmap it later with MAP_FIXED, possibly
> overriding a user's mapping that was made in the meantime.
> 
> This patch ensures each hole is mapped back by EAL, so that it won't be
> available to anyone else.
