Hi,
I run qemu2.1 with 1G hugepage and found that VM can't start (too slowly?) but
can start with 2M hugepage quickly.

What's the error message you're seeing? What's the filesystem mounted on
/dev/hugepages? Moreover, 1GB hugepages can't be allocated at runtime
currently, so do you allocate them on the host boot up process?
