+Subject: x86/xen: suppress hugetlbfs in PV guests
+Origin: http://xenbits.xen.org/xsa/xsa174.patch
+
+Huge pages are not normally available to PV guests. Not suppressing
+hugetlbfs use results in an endless loop of page faults when user mode
+code tries to access a hugetlbfs mapped area (since the hypervisor
+denies such PTEs to be created, but error indications can't be
+propagated out of xen_set_pte_at(), just like for various of its
+siblings), and - once killed in an oops like this:
