I updated this for you to include all the sizes.

And I reworded the comment the make it clearer (I think) that most users
shouldn't need to use these, and should just use the default size:
/*
* When MAP_HUGETLB is set bits [26:31] encode the log2 of the huge page size.
* A value of zero indicates that the default huge page size should be used.
* To use a non-default huge page size, one of these defines can be used, or the
* size can be encoded by hand. Note that on most systems only a subset, or
* possibly none, of these sizes will be available.
*/
Also do you want to send a patch to the man page?
