HPAGE_PMD_ORDER is not something we should check w.r.t 4k linux page
size. We do have the below constraint w.r.t hugetlb pages

static inline bool hstate_is_gigantic(struct hstate *h)
{
	return huge_page_order(h) >= MAX_ORDER;
}

That require MAX_ORDER to be greater than 12.

Did we test hugetlbfs 4k config with this patch ? Will it work if we
start marking hugepage as gigantic page ?
