This reverts commit 39231e8d6ba7f794b566fd91ebd88c0834a23b98.
Enabling HAVE_GIGANTIC_FOLIOS broke kernel build and git clone on two
systems. git fetch-pack fails when cloning large repos and make hangs
or errors out of Makefile.build with Error: 139. These failures are
random with git clone failing after fetching 1% of the objects, and
make hangs while compiling random files.
The blow is is one of the git clone failures:
git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git linux_6.19
