[PATCH 1/3]HTLB mapping for drivers. Alloc functions & some exportsymbols(take 2)

[Alexey Korolev]

This patch contains definitions of the hugetlb_alloc_pages_immediate & 
hugetlb_free_pages_immediate functions. The function hugetlb_alloc_pages_immediate 
allocates a single huge page. The allocation allows the selection of gfp mask and numa 
node. The allocation is immediate, i.e. it is not processed by hugetlbfs counting, 
because otherwise user must specify how much memory should be allocated, in case of 
a driver it could be hard to do. 

Also this patch adds some symbol exports. Since drivers need to create and 
populate/depopulate hugetlb file pg cache with pages we need to add export of 
hugetlb_file_setup and remove_from_page_cache.
