This series converts device-dax to use compound pages, and moves away from the
'struct page per basepage on PMD/PUD' that is done today. Doing so, unlocks a
few noticeable improvements on unpin_user_pages() and makes device-dax+altmap case
4x times faster in pinning (numbers below and in last patch).

I like it - aside from performance this series is important to clean
up the ZONE_DEVICE refcounting mess as it means that only fsdax will
be installing tail pages as PMD entries.

Yes, indeed. I should have emphasized that more in the cover letter.

Will fix for v6 (if there's a new respin).

Thanks,
Jason
