I want to hear what Matthew thinks about this.
My opinion is that we don't want to couple largely rmappable (or
deferred splittable) with __GFP_COMP, and for that matter, with large
folios, because the former are specific to THPs whereas the latter can
potentially work for most types of high order allocations.
Again, IMO, if we want to seriously answer the question of
Can we get rid of non-compound multi-page allocations? [1]
then we should start planning on decouple large rmappable from the
generic folio allocation API.
