Subject: [PATCH 58 of 66] don't allow transparent hugepage support without PSE

From: Andrea Arcangeli <aarcange@...hat.com>

Archs implementing Transparent Hugepage Support must implement a
function called has_transparent_hugepage to be sure the virtual or
physical CPU supports Transparent Hugepages.
