Subject: [PATCH 3.16 039/114] mm: hugetlb: allow hugepages_supported to be
 architecture specific

3.16.36-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Dominik Dingel <dingel@...ux.vnet.ibm.com>

commit 2531c8cf56a640cd7d17057df8484e570716a450 upstream.

s390 has a constant hugepage size, by setting HPAGE_SHIFT we also change
e.g. the pageblock_order, which should be independent in respect to
hugepage support.

With this patch every architecture is free to define how to check
for hugepage support.
