Hi Alok

Thanks for wanting to contribute to the Linux kernel!

Within the kernel, we have a lot of internal terminology. If you grep 
through the kernel source code, you'll find that in both the 
documentation and the code, we do use the term "hugepage". We also use 
"huge page", but "hugepage" is more common. Therefore I wouldn't call it 
a spelling error, just an internal term :)
