Mel Gorman covers memory partitioning for managing hugepage pools flexibly
Mel Gorman has a great post up over at his blog showing how to setup hugepage pools with memory partitioning – no reboots ;-) I also recommend you subscribe to the feed – he also did a great post on setting up Debian on a PS3.
In the past, hugepages had to be allocated at boot-time. Now, you can setup a partition at boot-time instead and allocate hugepages to the pool when they are needed, and return them to general use when not required allowing the memory to be used as normal.

I had the name Mel Gorman for over 20 years – then I married my husband, Dave Oberg. Just thought you might find this interesting.
Yes, I am a female. My full first name is Melva, but everyone calls me Mel.
