Yes I am.

Indeed.
Seems like we have hugepd for book3s/64 and for nohash.
For book3s I don't know, may Aneesh can answer.
For nohash I think it should be possible because TLB misses are handled
by software. Even the e6500 which has a hardware tablewalk falls back on
software walk when it is a hugepage IIUC.
