Sorry for chimming in late.

Since we're working on removing arch-dependent codes after all.. I'm
thinking whether we can define arch_hugetlb_valid_size() once in the
common header (e.g. linux/hugetlb.h), then in mm/hugetlb.c:

bool __init __attribute((weak)) arch_hugetlb_valid_size(unsigned long size)
{
	return size == HPAGE_SIZE;
}

We can simply redefine arch_hugetlb_valid_size() in arch specific C
files where we want to override the default.  Would that be slightly
cleaner?

Thanks,
