Thanks for the suggestion. But TBH I don't think this is a better way.
I did think about this before proposing v2, but I don't prefer to
pollute the code with IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_xxx) since the definition of
transhuge_vma_suitable() is already protected by #ifdef. Rounding the
address in transhuge_vma_suitable() seems neater and more readable to
me IMHO.

Some callers of transhuge_vma_suitable() do round the address before
calling it, but the rounded address is used by other codes in the
callers too.
