   1. Add the following to the kernel boot args (either via editing the petitboot boot option manually, or updating /boot/grub/grub.cfg:

  2. Boot Linux
  3. Observe that the kernel believes 16G huge pages are available:
  ubuntu@aprilmin7:~$ cat /proc/meminfo | grep -i huge

  This may be recreated on any bare metal POWER8 server with Ubuntu 16.04.2; I haven't checked other versions of Ubuntu.
