I think this patch is OK, but it's very confusing because it doesn't
mention that it's only talking about *generic* gigantic page support.

We have existing support for gigantic pages on powerpc, on several
platforms. This patch appears to break that, but I think doesn't in
practice?

So can you make it a bit clearer in the commit message, and the code,
that this is only about enabling the generic gigantic page support, and
is unrelated to the arch-specific gigantic page support.

cheers
