QEMU has had huge page support for a longer time already, but KVM
memory management under s390x needed some changes to work with huge
backings.

Now that we have support, let's enable it if requested and
available. Otherwise we now properly tell the user if there is no
support and back out instead of failing to run the VM later on.

This implies some change to certain setups (tmpfs), but as they are
absolutely not common (and never really were supported/expected to
work), I think this is fine.

Missing curly braces.

May I suggest to use a text that rather matches the condition of the
if-statement (just in case there will be other sizes in the future...),
e.g. "Memory backing is only supported for 1 MiB huge pages" or
something similar.

urgh, right, this is not the kernel.

That's actually the gist of it. s390 supports 4k, 1M and 2G and looking
at the POP I don't see a big chance of having any more sizes, as there
are not a lot of software bits left and adding support in OSs is a pain.
Also don't hold your breath for 2G, it would need a rewrite of gmap.c.

Also this is more explicit.

Well, never say never ... but if you want to keep the current text,
that's fine for me, too.
