That is on concern.  The other is that people will do stupid stuff
even in tree if you give them enough rope, and they should not have
that rope when the only sensible options are page/folio based kernel
memory (incuding large/huge folios) and dmabuf.

No.  Just have branches for page based vs dmabuf in a few places.
