Subject: [ANNOUNCE] libhugetlbfs

Announcing libhugetlbfs -- A library to provide easier access to
hugetlbfs.

Adam Litke and David Gibson began work on this library to enable
applications to benefit from using hugetlb pages in a transparent way
and without source-level modifications. We'd like to see this become
the focal point for userspace development and are interested in
integrating other functionality beyond what's listed below.

Currently supported uses:
- Transparent hugetlb-backed malloc
- Remapping ELF program segments into hugetlb pages

See the HOWTO included in the distribution for usage instructions.

Sourceforge project page: http://sourceforge.net/projects/libhugetlbfs

Comments, suggestions and patches welcome.
