So the problem is that SH3 is allowed to enable
HUGETLB_PAGE/HUGETLBFS, but only SH4/5 define the HPAGE_SHIFT macro,
due to some #ifdeffery on the hugepage size. So either the choice
needs to be extended to include CPU_SH3 (which builds here, when
changed) or the HUGETLBFS conditional needs to depend more
specifically on SH4/5 and not just SUPERH. I think the arch maintainer
has to make that call, as I don't know the hardware to say if SH3
actually supports multiple hugepage sizes.
