I'm dividing by the resolution, which is calculated from the page size - which
in a THP world is variable:

	static inline unsigned long afs_page_dirty(size_t from, size_t to)
	{
		size_t res = afs_page_dirty_resolution();
		from /= res; /* Round down */
		to = (to - 1) / res; /* Round up */
		return ((unsigned long)to << __AFS_PAGE_PRIV_SHIFT) | from;
	}
