On systems without CONTIG_ALLOC activated but that support gigantic pages,
boottime reserved gigantic pages can not be freed at all. This patch
simply enables the possibility to hand back those pages to memory
allocator.

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.
Is something like that (on top of this series) ok for you (and everyone
else) before
