Sounds good, thanks both!

Besides, I do plan to introduce a new macro in the next version to mean
"THP || HUGETLB", so as to put PxD code segments into it and not compile
when unnecessary (!THP && !HUGETLB).

Currently what I had is:

config PGTABLE_HAS_HUGE_LEAVES
	def_bool TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE || HUGETLB_PAGE

I didn't use something like CONFIG_HUGE_PAGE because it's too close to
HUGETLB_PAGE, even if generic and short enough.  Please speak if there's
any early comments on that, either the name or the format. For example, I
can also define it in e.g. mm/internal.h, instead of a config entry.
