Subject: [PATCH mm-unstable v5 00/10] convert core hugetlb functions to folios

============== OVERVIEW ===========================
Now that many hugetlb helper functions that deal with hugetlb specific
flags[1] and hugetlb cgroups[2] are converted to folios, higher level
allocation, prep, and freeing functions within hugetlb can also be
converted to operate in folios.

Patch 1 of this series implements the wrapper functions around setting
the compound destructor and compound order for a folio. Besides the user
added in patch 1, patch 2 and patch 9 also use these helper functions.

Patches 2-10 convert the higher level hugetlb functions to folios.

============== TESTING ===========================
LTP:
	Ran 10 back to back rounds of the LTP hugetlb test suite.

Gigantic Huge Pages:
	Test allocation and freeing via hugeadm commands:
		hugeadm --pool-pages-min 1GB:10
		hugeadm --pool-pages-min 1GB:0

Demote:
	Demote 1 1GB hugepages to 512 2MB hugepages
		echo 1 > /sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-1048576kB/nr_hugepages
		echo 1 > /sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-1048576kB/demote
		cat /sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages
			# 512
		cat /sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-1048576kB/nr_hugepages
			# 0
