So DAX is only case which creates this scenario of multi page sizes in
the same VMA ? Is there any cases other than DAX mapping ?

I guess these are the page sizes supported at PTE, PMD, PUD, PGD level.
Are all these page sizes supported right now or we are just creating
place holder for future.

So in the left column we are explicitly indicating the size of the PTE
and expect the user to figure out where it can really be either at PTE,
PMD, PUD etc. Thats little bit different that 'AnonHugePages' or the
Shared_HugeTLB/Private_HugeTLB pages which we know are the the PMD/PUD
level.

Right. So you are dropping the idea to introduce these fields as you
mentioned before for DAX mappings.

Hmm, is this related to these new changes ? The replacement of 'hpage_size'
instead of huge_page_size(hstate_vma(vma)) can be done in a separate patch.
