The other reason I feel like hugepd may or may not be further developed for new features like large folio is that I saw Power9 started to shift to radix pgtables, and afaics hugepd is only supported in hash tables (hugepd_ok()). But again, I confess I know nothing about Power at all.
That alone sounds like a good reason to not bother. So unless more qualified people have a different opinion I'm fine with this patch as long as you leave a comment in place, and ammend the commit message with some of the very useful information from your mail.
