* Huge pages. Needs work.

- * Need rmap for hugepages for this. Alternatively we could employ a heuristic,
- * like just walking the current process and hoping it has it mapped (that
- * should be usually true for the common "shared database cache" case)
- * Should handle free huge pages and dequeue them too, but this needs to
- * handle huge page accounting correctly.
+ * - Error on hugepage is contained in hugepage unit (not in raw page unit.)
+ * To narrow down kill region to one page, we need to break up pmd.
+ * - To support soft-offlining for hugepage, we need to support hugepage
