This really has nothing to do with buffer heads.

In fact, I've got a patchset to make it work _with_ buffer heads.

So please, don't make it conditional on CONFIG_BUFFER_HEAD.

And we should be calling into 'mapping_set_folio_order()' only if the 
'order' argument is larger than PAGE_ORDER, otherwise we end up enabling
large folio support for _every_ block device.
Which I doubt we want.
