libhugetlbfs test suite and boot test on iSeries is sufficient in this
case. However, the version I sent would break on IA-64 due to the lack of
a definition for HPAGE_SHIFT when CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE is not set. Can you
confirm this patch still fixes the problem please? If it does, I'll send
it to Andrew as a fix for 2.6.24. Whether iSeries is legacy or not, this is
breakage and should be fixed.
The new patch works fine. I reran the libhugetlbfs tests on a Power5+
machine and the ppc64_defconfig boots on legacy iSeries.
Thanks a million for reporting and testing. I've pushed the patch to Andrew.
