hugetlb: allow arch overridden hugepage allocation

Allow alloc_bootmem_huge_page() to be overridden by architectures that
can't always use bootmem.  This requires huge_boot_pages to be available
for use by this function.

This is required for powerpc 16G pages, which have to be reserved prior to
boot-time.  The location of these pages are indicated in the device tree.
