Subject: [PATCH v4 01/13] mm/Kconfig: CONFIG_PGTABLE_HAS_HUGE_LEAVES

From: Peter Xu <peterx@...hat.com>

Introduce a config option that will be selected as long as huge leaves are
involved in pgtable (thp or hugetlbfs).  It would be useful to mark any
code with this new config that can process either hugetlb or thp pages in
any level that is higher than pte level.
