Subject: [PATCH 5/5 V2] [PPC] Setup stack memory segment for hugetlb pages

Currently the memory slice that holds the process stack is always initialized
to hold small pages.  This patch defines the weak function that is declared
in the previos patch to convert the stack slice to hugetlb pages.

Signed-off-by: Eric Munson <ebmunson@...ibm.com>

---
Based on 2.6.26-rc8-mm1

Changes from V1:
Instead of setting the mm-wide page size to huge pages, set only the relavent
 slice psize using an arch defined weak function.
