One can never really know: zero or more people read it, and of those, no
one hated it enough to send out a quick NAK. So that's a *possible*,
lukewarm endorsement of sorts. Success! :)
You really know how to fill a guy with confidence! ;-)

BUT I've had yet another idea on the controls front, which would enable exposing
this to user space as an extension to transparent_hugepage, while continuing to
support THP as is and also be able to control THP and ALF (anon large folio)
The new ALF / ANON_LARGE_FOLIO naming looks good to me. The grep aspect
is a nice touch.
Well if we go the route of the newest proposal, then I guess the naming is less
important, because it all attaches to transparent_hugepage.
I agree that ALF is better. But having something under "THP", that is
not THP and not accounted as THP ... I don't quite like it (although,
before we discussed that approach in the past, I did like it).
