Hi Shesha,
A few things:
- For some reason the patch didn't upload properly to patchwork and the
last bit of the patch is missing.
The following link shows that the patch fails basic testing/compilation:
http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/test-report/2015-October/000352.html
- You seem to be sending two copies of the same patch.
- Please update patchwork status for v1 patch. I think this is because
there were two copies of it [patch id 7606]

Is all this necessary? At this point, all unneeded hugepages have been
released and their final_va set to NULL.
I think we just need to calculate the total number of hugepages and loop
through all hugepg_tbl entries checking va_final != NULL, then unlink.
