When running in guest mode ppc64 supports a different mechanism for hugetlb allocation/reservation. The LPAR management application called HMC can be used to reserve a set of hugepages and we pass the details of reserved pages via device tree to the guest. (more details in htab_dt_scan_hugepage_blocks()) . We do the memblock_reserve of the range and later in the boot sequence, we add the reserved range to huge_boot_pages. But to enable 16G hugetlb on baremetal config (when we are not running as guest) we want to do memblock reservation during boot.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
