Subject: [RFC PATCH v2 40/47] hugetlb: x86: enable high-granularity mapping

Now that HGM is fully supported for GENERAL_HUGETLB, x86 can enable it.
The x86 KVM MMU already properly handles HugeTLB HGM pages (it does a
page table walk to determine which size to use in the second-stage page
table instead of, for example, checking vma_mmu_pagesize, like arm64
does).

We could also enable HugeTLB HGM for arm (32-bit) at this point, as it
also uses GENERAL_HUGETLB and I don't see anything else that is needed
for it. However, I haven't tested on arm at all, so I won't enable it.
