Subject: Re: [PATCH] mm: move huge_pmd_set_accessed out of huge_memory.c

Hi folks,

I didn't realize pmd_* functions are protected by 
CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE on the most architectures before I made this 
change.

Before I fix all the affected architectures code, I want to check if you 
guys think this change is worth or not?

Thanks,
Yang
