Why not make this unconditional, for all architectures which support
hugepages? ie:
#ifdef HPAGE_SIZE
#define KEXEC_CRASH_MEM_ALIGN HPAGE_SIZE
#else
#define KEXEC_CRASH_MEM_ALIGN PAGE_SIZE
#endif
in include/linux/kexec.h?
IOW, what are the compromises here?
Also, does s390 support CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE=n? If so, does the use of
HPAGE_SIZE still make sense? Does it compile?
