some powerpc platforms have multiple page table entries mapping the same
hugepage and on other, we have a page table entry pointing to something
called hugepaeg directory mapping a set of hugepage. So I am not sure
the above will work for all those ?

Also do we derive pte@<size value> correctly there ?
