I'm really not sure about your decision to have some interfaces expose
subpages and other expose huge pages. I think I'd be happier to see
all the existing interfaces made to continue exposing subpages, then
start adding in new interfaces and converting users one at a time
to use them. For example here, we'd add find_get_huge_pages_tag(),
then pagevec_lookup_huge_tag(), and switch this function from calling
pagevec_lookup_tag() to calling pagevec_lookup_huge_tag() ... then this
function is done; there's no messing around with calling compound_head
or PageTransHuge.
My dream is that eventually all callers will be able to cope with getting
a compound page back from the page cache and we can delete the versions
that return subpages, and rename the 'huge_' variations.
