This probably means the config has:

CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE=n
CONFIG_ARCH_WANT_HUGE_PMD_SHARE=y

And I'm surprised we didn't have a dependency that ARCH_WANT_HUGE_PMD_SHARE
should depend on HUGETLB_PAGE already. Mike, what do you think?

I've also attached a quick fix for this patch to be squashed in. Hope it
works.

Thanks,
