Note, Ken, that if we did that, the calculation of these new Total and

looping over the memory nodes in the current tasks mems_allowed mask,
we would loop over the memory nodes allowed in the cpuset being queried
(the cpuset whose 'hugepages_total' or 'hugepages_free' special
file we were reading, not the current tasks cpuset.)

This is even more controversial and messy. akpm already dropped the
patch and expressed that he doesn't like it. And I won't go down
another messy path. I will let this idea RIP.
