x86/mm/xen: Suppress hugetlbfs in PV guests
Huge pages are not normally available to PV guests. Not suppressing hugetlbfs use results in an endless loop of page faults when user mode code tries to access a hugetlbfs mapped area (since the hypervisor denies such PTEs to be created, but error indications can't be propagated out of xen_set_pte_at(), just like for various of its siblings), and - once killed in an oops like this: kernel BUG at .../fs/hugetlbfs/inode.c:428! invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP ...
