Add the ``thp_shmem=`` kernel command line to allow specifying the
default policy of each supported shmem hugepage size. The kernel parameter
accepts the following format:

thp_shmem=<size>[KMG],<size>[KMG]:<policy>;<size>[KMG]- <size>[KMG]:<policy>

For example,

thp_shmem=16K-64K:always;128K,512K:inherit;256K:advise;1M-2M:never;4M-8M:within_size

By configuring the default policy of several shmem hugepages, the user
can take advantage of mTHP before it's been configured through sysfs.

Hm, mostly copy and paste. You could reuse existing get_order_from_str() simply by passing in the supported orders and moving error reporting to the caller.


Can I use functions from mm/huge_memory.c here?

static inline int get_order_from_str(const char *size_str,
         int valid_orders)
{
     ...
     if (!is_power_of_2(size))
         return -EINVAL;
     order = get_order(size);
     if (BIT(order) & ~valid_orders)
         return -EINVAL;
     return order;
}

Similarly, copy-paste. But not that easy to abstract :) So maybe we'll have to keep that as is for now.

On v2 [1], I abstracted to reduce copy and paste, but me and Barry
agreed that adding this sort of header to linux/huge_mm.h was weird.
