Old versions of the svga device used to export virtual vram, handling of
which was optimized on top of transparent hugepages support. Only very
old devices (OpenGL 2.1 support and earlier) used this code and at this
point performance differences are negligible.
Because the code requires very old hardware versions to run it has
been largely untested and unused for a long time.
Furthermore removal of the ttm hugepages support in:
commit 0d979509539e ("drm/ttm: remove ttm_bo_vm_insert_huge()")
broke the coherency mode in vmwgfx when running with hugepages.
Fixes: 0d979509539e ("drm/ttm: remove ttm_bo_vm_insert_huge()")

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
