From: "Aneesh Kumar K.V" <aneesh.kumar at linux.vnet.ibm.com>

This make one PMD cover 16MB range. That helps in easier implementation of THP
on power. THP core code make use of one pmd entry to track the huge page and
the range mapped by a single pmd entry should be equal to the huge page size
supported by the hardware.
