	The documentation is in a format that is very close to ReST format. The conversion is actually: - add blank lines in order to identify paragraphs; - fixing tables markups; - adding some lists markups; - marking literal blocks; - adjust some title markups. At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings.

2018-10-10	Documentation/arm64: HugeTLB page implementation	Punit Agrawal
	Arm v8 architecture supports multiple page sizes - 4k, 16k and 64k. Based on the active page size, the Linux port supports corresponding hugepage sizes at PMD and PUD(4k only) levels. In addition, the architecture also supports caching larger sized ranges (composed of multiple entries) at the PTE and PMD level in the TLBs using the contiguous bit. The Linux port makes use of this architectural support to enable additional hugepage sizes. Describe the two different types of hugepages supported by the arm64 kernel and the hugepage sizes enabled by each.
