Just a nit (no need to address for this patch set): "transfer page to 
folio" sounds very misleading to me. I'm not a native speaker, but I'd 
have called this patch set

"mm/ksm: convert some KSM code to use folios"

It's rather code conversion/transformation, not a transfer.

But again, I'm not a native speaker ...
