[PATCH v7 1/4] sh: Advertise gigantic page support

From: Alexandre Ghiti <alex@ghiti.fr>
Date: 2019-03-17 16:30:14
Also in: linux-arm-kernel, linux-mm, linux-s390, linux-sh, lkml, sparclinux
Subsystem: superh, the rest · Maintainers: Yoshinori Sato, Rich Felker, John Paul Adrian Glaubitz, Linus Torvalds

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

At least sdk7786_defconfig exposes such a configuration with
huge pages of 64MB, pages of 4KB and MAX_ORDER = 11:
HPAGE_SHIFT (26) - PAGE_SHIFT (12) = 14 >= MAX_ORDER (11)
