Subject: [PATCH v5 2/4] sparc: Advertise gigantic page support

sparc actually supports gigantic pages and selecting
ARCH_HAS_GIGANTIC_PAGE allows it to allocate and free
gigantic pages at runtime.

sparc allows configuration such as huge pages of 16GB,
pages of 8KB and MAX_ORDER = 13 (default):
HPAGE_SHIFT (34) - PAGE_SHIFT (13) = 21 >= MAX_ORDER (13)
