Please could you explain why /dev/hugepages must be used,
in the commit log for the record?

FYI, a similar change was done in the website by Stephen.

 The path /dev/huge does not exist, the correct path is  /dev/hugepages, so
for the sake of accuracy in the documentation it should be changed.

This bug was submitted by Stephen on bugzilla, I took notice of it and
submitted a patch to correct it. This bug is not yet corrected on the
website.

/dev/hugepages is the default path used by systemd (check 
dev-hugepages.mount unit) so this is the correct path.

The directory can be created.
As Anatoly said, the reason is that it is the default path
on most systems.
