That's the eventual plan, but it's not possible today. We need to be able to split large folios (eg in truncation) and that functionality is still under CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE in mm/huge_memory.c. So large folios depend on CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE instead of having a clean separation between functionality-to-support-PMD-mapping and functionality-to-support-order>0. So I preferred your earlier patch because it's more obvious. I mean, we could pull in the two or three patches from my tree that convert these functions and their callers to folios ... we're only at rc1. I can post them and see what others think.
