By "hugetlb specific", I was trying to say that only hugetlb code would
use this lock.  It is not a concern now.  However, there has been talk
about other code doing something similar to remove struct pages.  If that
ever happens then we will need a different locking scheme.

Disregard my statement about there being no overlap.  I was confusing
page tables for huge pages with page tables for mappings mmap entries
of huge pages.
