Public bug reported:
Hi Canonical,
We would like to include 8 patches regarding Transparent Huge Page for
powerpc. The patches are already upstream on Ben powerpc-next tree and
should be sent to Linus' tree today, which mean that they are expected
to make 3.17.
Here are the patches

hugepage invalidate
