Subject: [PATCH v2 39/46] hugetlb: x86: enable high-granularity mapping for x86_64

Now that HGM is fully supported for GENERAL_HUGETLB, we can enable it
for x86_64. We can only enable it for 64-bit architectures because the
vm flag VM_HUGETLB_HGM uses a high bit.

The x86 KVM MMU already properly handles HugeTLB HGM pages (it does a
page table walk to determine which size to use in the second-stage page
table instead of, for example, checking vma_mmu_pagesize, like arm64
does).
