Hi Bruce,

The change is based on the readability and intuitiveness of the 
configuration file. In which case "number" could be ambiguous:

   hugepages_2mb:
     number: 100

And here I could see "count" working:

   hugepages_2mb:
     count: 100

But since the change is propagated for consistency. "count" would no 
longer be well fitting in the rest:

      "description": "The count of hugepages to configure. Hugepage
                      size will be the system default."

It seems that "quantity" may be the best fitting here while retaining 
naming consistency.


Best,
Luca
