Subject: [RFC PATCH] arm64/hugetlb enable gigantic hugepage

As we know, arm64 also support gigantic hugepage eg. 1G.
So I try to use this function by adding hugepagesz=1G
in kernel parameters, with CONFIG_CMA=y.
However, when:
echo xx > /sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-1048576kB/
          nr_hugepages
it failed with the info:
-bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument

This patch make gigantic hugepage can be used on arm64,
when CONFIG_CMA=y or other related configs is enable.
