on ppc64 we have one challenge, we do need to support hugepd. At the pmd
level we can have hugepte, normal pmd pointer or a pointer to hugepage
directory which is used in case of some sub-architectures/platforms. ie,
the below part of gup implementation in ppc64
else if (is_hugepd(pmdp)) {
if (!gup_hugepd((hugepd_t *)pmdp, PMD_SHIFT,
addr, next, write, pages, nr))
return 0;
