Hi Maciej,

I guess it's nice to make sure guest memory is actually allocated by
hugepages.
So please check like below.

$ cat /sys/kernel/mm/hugepage/xxxxx/free_hugepages
$ ./start_qemu.sh
$ cat /sys/kernel/mm/hugepage/xxxxx/free_hugepages

If qemu guest allocates memory from hugepages, 2nd cat command will
indicate it.

Thanks,
Tetsuya
