Actually already merged.  There's page_size() which went into 5.4, and
is the one you'd want to use (also page_shift() and compound_nr()).
The thp_* equivalents (merged in 5.9) compile away to nothing if you
don't have CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE enabled, but since there are
many ways of getting a compound page mapped into userspace, page_size()
is the helper to use for VFIO.
