supported is not actually what we are checking here. We are checking
whether the base page size actual page size remove can be done in chunks
of 8 blocks. If we don't support 8 block you fallback to bulk
invalidate. May be update the commit message accordingly?
For regular pages and hugetlb, the assumption is made that the page size is
equal to the base page size. For THP the page size is assumed to be 16M.

So we don't use block invalidate if blocksize is != 8.
