hugetlb: support larger than MAX_ORDER
This is needed on x86-64 to handle GB pages in hugetlbfs, because it is not practical to enlarge MAX_ORDER to 1GB. Instead the 1GB pages are only allocated at boot using the bootmem allocator using the hugepages=... option. These 1G bootmem pages are never freed. In theory it would be possible to implement that with some complications, but since it would be a one-way street (>= MAX_ORDER pages cannot be allocated later) I decided not to currently. The >= MAX_ORDER code is not ifdef'ed per architecture. It is not very big and the ifdef uglyness seemed not be worth it. Known problems: /proc/meminfo and "free" do not display the memory allocated for gb pages in "Total". This is a little confusing for the user.
