Hugepage size in unit of GB is supported. We could show pagesize in unit of
GB to make it more friendly to read. Also rework the calculation code of
page size unit to make it more readable.

NACK, this can break existing userspace parsing.

I see. I should take care of this. Many thanks.

Thanks.  It's an important point to emphasize because it shows how 
important user-facing interfaces are.  Once the hugetlbfs mount options 
are printed in the way they are, it becomes very difficult to change them 
because there can be userspace in the wild that would break as a result.  
This is why it's crucial to be very careful when specifying user-facing 
interfaces the first time so they are extensible.

Many thanks for detailed explanation! I will keep this in mind! Thanks again.
