Yep, we are on the same page (folio)...

Note that in the final patch, where I test the other THP sizes, I'm not
detecting which sizes the sysadmin has enabled, I'm detecting the set of sizes
that can be enabled, then explicitly enabling the size (exclusively) when I test
it. So there is no chance of reading PMD size but not having 2M THP. Minor point
though.

Yep this is exactly how I've just reworked it.
