This avoids an extra find_vma() and is less error-prone.

This patch does 2 things: It corrects the code that determines the
size to write into MAS1 for the PPC_MM_SLICES case (this originally
came from David Gibson and I had incorrectly altered it), and it
changes the methodolody used to calculate the size for !PPC_MM_SLICES
to work for 64-bit as well as 32-bit.

Commit 41151e77a4 ("powerpc: Hugetlb for BookE") added some
#ifdef CONFIG_MM_SLICES conditionals to hugetlb_get_unmapped_area()
and vma_mmu_pagesize(). Unfortunately this is not the correct config
symbol; it should be CONFIG_PPC_MM_SLICES. The result is that
attempting to use hugetlbfs on 64-bit Power server processors results
in an infinite stack recursion between get_unmapped_area() and
hugetlb_get_unmapped_area().
This fixes it by changing the #ifdef to use CONFIG_PPC_MM_SLICES
in those functions and also in book3e_hugetlb_preload().

Enable hugepages on Freescale BookE processors. This allows the kernel to
use huge TLB entries to map pages, which can greatly reduce the number of
TLB misses and the amount of TLB thrashing experienced by applications with
large memory footprints. Care should be taken when using this on FSL
processors, as the number of large TLB entries supported by the core is low
(16-64) on current processors.
The supported set of hugepage sizes include 4m, 16m, 64m, 256m, and 1g.
Page sizes larger than the max zone size are called "gigantic" pages and
must be allocated on the command line (and cannot be deallocated).
This is currently only fully implemented for Freescale 32-bit BookE
processors, but there is some infrastructure in the code for
64-bit BooKE.
