Sure ... but what does that look like?  I think it should look a little
like this:

unsigned long __thp_get_unmapped_area(struct file *filp, unsigned long len,
                        loff_t off, unsigned long flags, unsigned long size);
{
        unsigned long addr;
        loff_t off_end = off + len;
        loff_t off_align = round_up(off, size);
        unsigned long len_size;

        if ((off_end <= off_align) || ((off_end - off_align) < size))
                return NULL;

        len_size = len + size;
        if ((len_size < len) || (off + len_size) < off)
                return NULL;

        addr = current->mm->get_unmapped_area(filp, NULL, len_size,
                                                off >> PAGE_SHIFT, flags);
        if (IS_ERR_VALUE(addr))
                return NULL;
 
        addr += (off - addr) & (size - 1);
        return addr;
}

unsigned long thp_get_unmapped_area(struct file *filp, unsigned long addr,
                unsigned long len, unsigned long pgoff, unsigned long flags)
{
        loff_t off = (loff_t)pgoff << PAGE_SHIFT;

        if (addr)
                goto out;
        if (IS_DAX(filp->f_mapping->host) && !IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_FS_DAX_PMD))
                goto out;
        /* Kirill, please fill in the right condition here for THP pagecache */

        addr = __thp_get_unmapped_area(filp, len, off, flags, PUD_SIZE);
        if (addr)
                return addr;
        addr = __thp_get_unmapped_area(filp, len, off, flags, PMD_SIZE);
        if (addr)
                return addr;

 out:
        return current->mm->get_unmapped_area(filp, addr, len, pgoff, flags);
}

By the way, I added an extra check here, when we add len and size
(PMD_SIZE in the original), we need to make sure that doesn't wrap.
NB: I'm not even compiling these suggestions, just throwing them out
here as ideas to be criticised.

Also, len_size is a stupid name, but I can't think of a better one.
