  362. huge tlb transparently to the applications whenever possible.

  364. applications by speeding up page faults during memory
  365. allocation, by reducing the number of tlb misses and by speeding
  366. up the pagetable walking.

  407. Cleancache can be thought of as a page-granularity victim cache
  408. for clean pages that the kernel's pageframe replacement algorithm
  409. (PFRA) would like to keep around, but can't since there isn't enough
  410. memory. So when the PFRA "evicts" a page, it first attempts to use
  411. cleancache code to put the data contained in that page into
  412. "transcendent memory", memory that is not directly accessible or
  413. addressable by the kernel and is of unknown and possibly
  414. time-varying size. And when a cleancache-enabled
  415. filesystem wishes to access a page in a file on disk, it first
  416. checks cleancache to see if it already contains it; if it does,
  417. the page is copied into the kernel and a disk access is avoided.

  419. Xen transcendent memory), a significant I/O reduction
