This set adds support for 16G huge pages on ppc64. Supporting multiple huge page sizes on ppc64 as defined in Andi's patches is not a part of this set; that will be included in a future patch. The first patch here adds an arch callback since the 16G pages are not allocated from bootmem. The 16G pages have to be reserved prior to boot-time. The location of these pages are indicated in the device tree. Support for 16G pages requires a POWER5+ or later machine and a little bit of memory.
