The only way Freescale booke chips support mappings larger than 4K is via TLB1. The only way we support (direct) TLB1 entries is via hugetlb, which is not what map_kernel_page() does when given a large page size.
Without this, a kernel with CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP enabled crashes on boot with messages such as: PID hash table entries: 4096 (order: 3, 32768 bytes) Sorting __ex_table...
