Re: [PATCH v2] mm: introduce MADV_RESET_HUGEPAGE

Currently applications can explicitly enable or disable THP for a memory
region using MADV_HUGEPAGE or MADV_NOHUGEPAGE. However, once either of
these advises is used, the region will always have
VM_HUGEPAGE/VM_NOHUGEPAGE flag set in vma->vm_flags.
The MADV_RESET_HUGEPAGE resets both these flags and allows managing THP in
the region according to system-wide settings.

I feel like we may be losing some information from the v1 thread regarding 
the usecase.  Would it be possible to add something to the changelog to 
describe what will use this?
