From: "Aneesh Kumar K.V" aneesh.kumar@linux.vnet.ibm.com
[ Upstream commit a525108cf1cc14651602d678da38fa627a76a724 ]
Without this if firmware reports 1MB page size support we will crash trying to use 1MB as hugetlb page size.
echo 300 > /sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-1024kB/nr_hugepages
kernel BUG at ./arch/powerpc/include/asm/hugetlb.h:19! ..... .... [c0000000e2c27b30] c00000000029dae8 .hugetlb_fault+0x638/0xda0 [c0000000e2c27c30] c00000000026fb64 .handle_mm_fault+0x844/0x1d70 [c0000000e2c27d70] c00000000004805c .do_page_fault+0x3dc/0x7c0 [c0000000e2c27e30] c00000000000ac98 handle_page_fault+0x10/0x30
With fix, we don't enable 1MB as hugepage size.
