So only 8xx has cont-PMD for hugepages?

Since this function is the core for allocation huge pages, I think it would
benefit from a comment at the top explaining the possible layouts.
e.g: Who can have cont-{P4d,PUD,PMD} etc.
A brief explanation of the possible scheme for all powerpc platforms.
That would help people looking into this in a future.
