As explained in https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/1047003/
architectures like ppc64 have a hypervisor assisted mechanism to
indicate
where to find gigantic huge pages(16G pages). At this point, we
don't use this
reserved pages for anything other than hugetlb backing and hence there
is no runtime free of this pages needed ( Also we don't do
runtime allocation of them).
I guess you can still achieve what you want to do in this patch by
keeping gigantic_page_supported()?
NOTE: We should rename gigantic_page_supported to be more specific to
support for runtime_alloc/free of gigantic pages

Thanks for noticing Aneesh.
I can't find a better solution than bringing back
gigantic_page_supported check,
since it is must be done at runtime in your case.
I'm not sure of one thing though: you say that freeing boottime
gigantic pages
is not needed, but is it forbidden ? Just to know where the check and
what its
new name should be.
You did not answer this question: is freeing boottime gigantic pages
"forbidden" or just
not needed ?
Is something like that (on top of this series) ok for you (and
everyone else) before

The pattern i like is

static inline bool gigantic_page_supported(void)

instead of _HAVE_ARCH_GIGANTIC_PAGE_SUPPORTED.
I see, that avoids a new define. However, it is not consistent with the
rest of function definitions
in generic hugetlb.h. What do you think ? Should I follow the same
format ? Or use yours ?

you should restore other users of gigantic_page_supported() not just
this. That will just make your earlier patch as removing
gigantic_page_supported from every architecture other than ppc64 and
have a generic version as above.
I'll restore the check in update_and_free_page too depending on your
answer to the above question,
since adding this check back would not allow to free boottime gigantic
pages.
