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.
