That's the eventual plan, but it's not possible today.  We need to
be able to split large folios (eg in truncation) and that functionality
is still under CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE in mm/huge_memory.c.  So
large folios depend on CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE instead of having a
clean separation between functionality-to-support-PMD-mapping and
functionality-to-support-order>0.

So I preferred your earlier patch because it's more obvious.  I mean,
we could pull in the two or three patches from my tree that convert
these functions and their callers to folios ... we're only at rc1.
I can post them and see what others think.
