This allows KVM with the Book3S radix MMU mode to take advantage of
THP and install larger pages in the partition scope page tables (the
host translation).

I've applied this to my ppc-for-3.0 tree. It's not strictly within
the code I maintain, but since it only affects ppc, it seems
reasonable to go through my tree.
