I thought that gigantic pages were always allocated on 1GB aligned.
At least alloc_gigantic_page() looks for 1GB range, aligned to that.
But I see that in alloc_contig_range(), the boundaries can differ.

Anyway, unless I am missing something, I think that we could just
get rid of the round_up() and do something like:

<--
skip_pages = (1 << compound_order(head)) - (page - head);
iter = skip_pages - 1;
-->

which looks more simple IMHO.

It should just work for 2MB and 1GB Hugepages.
