After a discussion with gnuoy I picket it up for the DPDK init scripts that can be used to set hugepages properly for DPDK.

I still consider the reasoning rather unclear why exactly 2*#hp+padding are "correct".
According to our discussion it seems to be only derived from "e.g., up to one or two maps per allocation."

If anybody has more, like an example that breaks and so on and could share it that would be great.
Without that it is hard to correctly quantify if "2*#hp+padding" would be correct for 1G hugepages as well.
