For powerpc64, either 16MB/16GB or 2MB/1GB huge pages are supported depending
on the MMU type (Hash or Radix). I was just running these tests on a powerpc64
system with Hash MMU and ran into problems because the tests assume that the
hugepage size is always 2MB. Can you determine the huge page size at runtime?
