It is only the the missing vm_map part for folios? I had found a patch

https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/dri-devel/2025-March/497993.html

and added the comment therefore. Maybe we can bring it up with Matthew
or someone else from mm next week.

A bit a pity if there is generic support for large folios and fuse
internals for random reasons then still use single pages.

Thanks,
