We definitely need a comment around that. This will work only for 64K
linux page size, on 4k we may consider it a hugepd directory entry. But
This should be ok because we support THP only with 64K linux page size.
Hence my suggestion to add proper comments or move it to right headers.

Did we test this with Radix config ? If not I will suggest we hold off
the ppc64 patch and you can merge rest of the changes.
