All information about hugepages is still available. As per the patch
provided in defect https://bugs.launchpad.net/tasty-taco/+bug/1295705,
the hugepage data should not be available. However it doesn't seem to be
the same.
This sceanrio as a result will be a FAIL.
Kindly do run through my patch application steps and let me know if the
right steps have been followed or should I be choosing a different repo
altogether.
