From: "Aneesh Kumar K.V" <aneesh.kumar@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

This make one PMD cover 16MB range. That helps in easier implementation of THP
on power. THP core code make use of one pmd entry to track the hugepage and
the range mapped by a single pmd entry should be equal to the hugepage size
supported by the hardware.
