Subject: [PATCH v2 2/6] mm: make clear_huge_page tolerate non aligned address

From: Andi Kleen <ak@...ux.intel.com>

hugetlb does not necessarily pass in an aligned address, so the
low level address computation is wrong.

This will fix architectures that actually use the address for flushing
the cleared address (very few, like xtensa/sparc/...?)
