While working on a rebase relative to this work, I noticed that the
s390 patches don't even compile.

It's because of that pmd_pgprot() change from Peter Z. which arrives
asynchonously via the linux-next tree.  It makes THP start using
pmd_pgprot() (a new interface) which the s390 patches don't provide.

It's going to require that I do new work for my sparc64 THP changes as
well.
