[patch 17/21] powerpc: function to allocate gigantic hugepages

[npiggin@suse.de]

[-- Attachment #1: powerpc-function-for-gigantic-hugepage-allocation.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1912 bytes --]

The 16G page locations have been saved during early boot in an array.
The alloc_bootmem_huge_page() function adds a page from here to the
huge_boot_pages list.
