powerpc: Switch 16GB and 16MB explicit hugepages to a different page table format


or

cf9427b85e90bb1ff90e2397ff419691d983c68b "powerpc: New hugepage directory format"

It's e2b3d202d1dba8f3546ed28224ce485bc50010be.

It turned out to be the change from "pmd_none" to "pmd_none_or_clear_bad". Making that change triggers the "bad pmd" messages even when applied to v3.9 -- so we had bad pmds all along, undetected. Now I get to figure out why. :-(

So, for both pud and pgd we only call "or_clear_bad" when is_hugepd returns false. Why is it OK to do it unconditionally for pmd?
