    libvirt: add hugepages support for Power
    
    Power architectures (arch.PPC64LE and arch.PPC64) support huge pages and
    transparent huge pages. This patch just enables it on nova libvirt driver. A
    reno note was also added to track this new feature.
    
    This change also enables the test_does_want_hugepages unit test to run on the
    architectures that support huge pages.

Title:
  Cannot get hugepages on PPC64

Status in OpenStack Compute (nova):
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  We cannot spawn VMs with hugepages on PPC64, for example with the IBM P8 systems.
  The analysis shows that it is due to
    virt/libvirt/driver.py
       _has_hugepage_support()

  which has only:
     supported_archs = [arch.I686, arch.X86_64]

   arch.PPC64LE is missing here.
