how can i check in program that the region is mapped using huge pages? i
use mmap with address padded to 4M and mlock.

I believe so, yes-- isn't this what the PAE kernel option does?
i need freebsd just for running one program needing about 1280 megs of data
space (+1-2 meg of code stacks etc. can be normally mapped). everything
else is just using less than 1% of power.
with 1536MB AMD64 machine it would be nice for FreeBSD to boot seeing 256
megs for itself and allowing 1280 megs to be mapped&locked to just one
program.
Hmm. Doesn't FreeBSD's default VM behavior do just fine dealing with one
large active process without any unusual tuning?
