I agree that this set is papering over the issue. And I would like 
your recommendations here. 

The biggest problem to me is that we (or at least myself) don't know 
all the issues HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_VMALLOC will trigger on x86_64. Right 
now we have a bug report from Paul, and the warning from Rick, but
I am afraid there might be some other issues. 

How about we approach it like this:

Since it is still early in the release cycle (pre rc1), we can keep 
HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_VMALLOC on for x86_64 for now and try to fix all the 
reported issues and warnings. If things don't go very well, we can
turn HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_VMALLOC off after rc4 or rc5. 

Does this make sense?

Thanks,
Song
