Teaching thp_adjust() how to handle 1GB wouldn't be a bad thing. It's

Cool. This was my main concern - I didn't want to break THP.
I'll rework the series based on all of your comments.
Hopefully you haven't put too much effort into the rework, because I want
to commandeer the proposed changes and use them as the basis for a more
aggressive overhaul of KVM's hugepage handling. Ironically, there's a bug
in KVM's THP handling that I _think_ can be avoided by using the DAX
approach of walking the host PTEs.
I'm in the process of testing, hopefully I'll get a series sent out later
today. If not, I should at least be able to provide an update.
Nice timing. I was just about to get back to this, so I haven't put any
time in yet. =)
Please CC me, and I'll try your patches out on my end.
Thanks,
Barret
