I'm not sure why we say "huge (large) pages".  The natural term for
Windows is "large-pages",
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa366720(v=vs.85).aspx
so I think we should use that terminology.  Maybe something like

Add support for <firstterm>large pages</firstterm> on Windows (Takayuki Tsunakawa, Thomas Munro)
This is controlled by the <link>huge_pages</link> configuration parameter.


I assume the point here is that we the term huge pages is what's used in PostgreSQL. For example, they are still configured using the huge_pages GUC.
