Nicholas Piggin d909f9109c powerpc/64s/radix: Enable HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_VMAP
This sets the HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_VMAP option, and defines the required
page table functions.

This enables huge (2MB and 1GB) ioremap mappings. I don't have a
benchmark for this change, but huge vmap will be used by a later core
kernel change to enable huge vmalloc memory mappings. This improves
cached `git diff` performance by about 5% on a 2-node POWER9 with 32MB
size dentry cache hash.

  Profiling git diff dTLB misses with a vanilla kernel:

  81.75%  git      [kernel.vmlinux]    [k] __d_lookup_rcu
   7.21%  git      [kernel.vmlinux]    [k] strncpy_from_user
   1.77%  git      [kernel.vmlinux]    [k] find_get_entry
   1.59%  git      [kernel.vmlinux]    [k] kmem_cache_free

            40,168      dTLB-miss
       0.100342754 seconds time elapsed

  With powerpc huge vmalloc:

             2,987      dTLB-miss
       0.095933138 seconds time elapsed
