Hi Tim,

Note that the referenced commit only makes it so that if you don't back
a PowerKVM guest with hugepages, hugepages do not (falsely) appear to be
supported. In such an environment the message referenced in this bug
report will still be displayed as it should -- hugepages aren't
supported in such a guest.

To run the libhugetlbfs test suite in a PowerKVM guest, you must back
the guest with hugepages in the host and then allocate hugepages in the
guest as appropriate.

Thanks,
Nish
