[pve-devel] [PATCH qemu-server 1/1] Use nr_hugepages from /proc/cmdline

From: Kamil Trzciński <ayufan at ayufan.eu>

Currently Proxmox VE always deallocates HugePagesTLB
when starting a new machine and it makes it impossible
to preconfigure kernel /proc/cmdline with persistent allocation.

This changes makes deallocation to prefer defaults set by /proc/cmdline,
by parsing the cmdline and respecting hugepages= and hugepagesz=.
