Yes, I do prefer the syntax Luiz is proposing.

But I think it would be better if it made hugepages= and hugepagesz=
obsolete, so we can emit a printk if people use those, telling them
to migrate because the old options are going away.

Something like

hugepages_node=1:4:1G

and

hugepages_node=:16:1G

?
