OK, this description is much better. Thanks! I would still like to see
the benefit on more realistic workloads. Those tends to be more towards
large pre-allocated mappings AFAIK (something like a DB start). Can you
add those numbers?
Btw. I do not mind the address->haddr change to be more in sync with THP
but the previous patch was much more easier to review. Now you have to
go to the code and check there are no unintended leftovers. So it would
have been better to split that into two patches but I will not insist.
