[PATCH] powerpc/mm/hugetlb: Add support for reserving gigantic huge pages via kernel command line

We use the kernel command line to do reservation of hugetlb pages. The code
duplcation here is mostly to make it simpler. With 64 bit book3s, we need to
support either 16G or 1G gigantic hugepage. Whereas the FSL_BOOK3E
implementation needs to support multiple gigantic hugepage. We avoid the
gpage_npages array and use a gpage_npage count for ppc64. We also cannot use the
generic code to do the gigantic page allocation because that will require
conditonal to handle the pseries allocation, where the memory is already
reserved by the hypervisor.

Inorder to keep it simpler, book3s 64 implements a version that keeps it simpler
and working with pseries.
