There is a small bug in the handling of 16G hugepages recently added
to the kernel. This doesn't cause a crash or other user-visible
problems, but it does mean that more levels of pagetable are allocated
than makes sense for 16G pages. The hugepage pagetables for the 16G
pages are allocated much lower in the pagetable tree than they should
be, with the intervening levels allocated with full pmd and pud pages
which will only ever have one entry filled in.
This patch corrects this problem, at the same time cleaning up the
handling of which level 64k versus 16M hugepage pagetables are
allocated at. The new way of formatting the tests should be more
robust against changes in pagetable structure, or any newly added
hugepage sizes.
