[PATCH 7/8] thp, s390: disable thp for kvm host on s390

From: Gerald Schaefer
Date: Thu Sep 06 2012 - 09:13:33 EST


This patch is part of the architecture backend for thp on s390.
It disables thp for kvm hosts, because there is no kvm host hugepage
support so far. Existing thp mappings are split by follow_page() with
FOLL_SPLIT, and future thp mappings are prevented by setting
VM_NOHUGEPAGE in mm->def_flags.
