The seems to be missing quite a lot of details w.r.t allocating the correct pgtable_t page (huge_pte_alloc()), holding the right lock (huge_pte_lock()) etc. The vma used is also not a hugetlb VMA. ppc64 do have runtime checks within CONFIG_DEBUG_VM for most of these. Hence disable the test on ppc64.
