Hi Kefeng,

There is only one size of hugepages for RV32 which is 4MB, there isn't 
any gigantic hugepage of 1GB: there are only 2 levels of page table, a 
PGDIR represents 4MB and this is the only way to have a hugepage on 
RV32. So I think we should leave hugetlbfs available on RV32.

Thanks,

Alex
