I don't think this is the place to explain that.  Remember, we already
have:

 * @index: Offset within the file, in units of pages.  For anonymous pages,
 *    this is the index from the beginning of the mmap.

and I don't want to explain every term of art in every function
description.  I think if you're reading this, you can follow the
link to the struct folio description and see what an index is.
