Below is a patch to implement demand faulting for huge pages.  The main
motivation for changing from prefaulting to demand faulting is so that
huge page memory areas can be allocated according to NUMA policy.

Thanks to consolidated hugetlb code, switching the behavior requires changing
only one fault handler.  The bulk of the patch just moves the logic from 
hugelb_prefault() to hugetlb_pte_fault().

Diffed against 2.6.13-git6
