Andi Kleen aa888a7497 hugetlb: support larger than MAX_ORDER 
This is needed on x86-64 to handle GB pages in hugetlbfs, because it is
not practical to enlarge MAX_ORDER to 1GB.

Instead the 1GB pages are only allocated at boot using the bootmem
allocator using the hugepages=...  option.

These 1G bootmem pages are never freed.  In theory it would be possible to
implement that with some complications, but since it would be a one-way
street (>= MAX_ORDER pages cannot be allocated later) I decided not to
currently.

The >= MAX_ORDER code is not ifdef'ed per architecture.  It is not very
big and the ifdef uglyness seemed not be worth it.

Known problems: /proc/meminfo and "free" do not display the memory
allocated for gb pages in "Total".  This is a little confusing for the
user.
