Currently both the ARCH_WANT_GENERAL_HUGETLB functions 'huge_pte_alloc'
and 'huge_pte_offset' dont take into account huge page implementation
at the PGD level. With addition of PGD awareness into these functions,
more architectures like POWER which also implements huge pages at PGD
level (along with PMD level), can use ARCH_WANT_GENERAL_HUGETLB option.
