Well... that stuff is always in git. It seems that the only 64-bit
non-Freescale Book E platform we had was A2, and that code got deleted
because the product was never released.
You get rid of some but not all of the ifdefs in hugetlbpage-book3e.c,
and the result is a bit confusing (see below). In fact that file will
only get compiled for Freescale Book E processors, because the
Makefile has an ifdef on HUGETLB_PAGE, which ultimately depends on
SYS_SUPPORTS_HUGETLBFS, which is only set for Freescale Book E and
64-bit server.
However, a larger question is why this cleanup is necessary for
preparing for the radix tree. Nothing in the following patches in
this series seems to depend on this patch.

This comment should be fixed to refer only to FSL implementations.

This ifdef is confusing, because the other code you are adding to this
file only handles the FSL hugepd scheme.

This comment should be fixed to not refer to FSL-based
implementations.
