Originally, there're two cons in using hugepage: a. needs root
privilege to touch /proc/self/pagemap, which is a premise to
alllocate physically contiguous memseg; b. possibly too many
hugepage file are created, especially used with 2M hugepage.
For virtual devices, they don't care about physical-contiguity
of allocated hugepages at all. Option --single-file is to
provide a way to allocate all hugepages into single mem-backed
file.
Known issue:
a. single-file option relys on kernel to allocate numa-affinitive
memory.
b. possible ABI break, originally, --no-huge uses anonymous memory
instead of file-backed way to create memory.
