It looks like hugemem is a redhat thing... I don't know if it is
easy/possible to have it under debian. These kernels are generally heavily
patched.

But even with this patch, a signle process will be limited to less than 4G of
memory. As the hugemem kernels have switching overhead check if you really
can't work in another way.
