[PATCH 3/3] Export of hugetlb_file_setup function. (Take 3)

From: Alexey Korolev
Date: Mon Sep 14 2009 - 01:20:08 EST


This patch provides drivers with export of hugetlb_file_setup function.
This patch exports hugetlb_file_setup function, that will be used to
create a file on the internal vfsmount. Also it adds enum entry just
to notify that file is created by device driver. Accounting rules are
the same as for HUGETLB_ANONHUGE_INODE.
