Introduce a config option that will be selected as long as huge leaves are
involved in pgtable (thp or hugetlbfs).  It would be useful to mark any
code with this new config that can process either hugetlb or thp pages in
any level that is higher than pte level.

So you mean anything that supports page table entires > PAGE_SIZE ?
Yes.
Makes sense to me, though maybe add a comment in the kconfig?
Sure I'll add some.

Thanks for your reviews and also positive comments in previous versions,
Jason.  I appreciate that.

I'm just pretty occupied with other tasks recently so I don't yet have time
to revisit this series, along with other comments yet.  I'll do so and
reply to the comments / discussions together afterwards.
