 Understood. The situation here is that the boards, which required these
modifications, have no support in the arch/powerpc branch. So this is 
why we made this in arch/ppc.

 Here I agree with Benjamin. Furthermore, IIRC the hugetlb file-system is
supported for PPC64 architectures only. Here we have PPC32.
