a) Can't we just do this?

compound_order() does the right thing for all styles of page, yes?

b) If that PageHuge() test you added the correct thing to use?

/*
* PageHuge() only returns true for hugetlbfs pages, but not for normal or
* transparent huge pages. See the PageTransHuge() documentation for more
* details.
*/

Obviously we won't be encountering transparent huge pages here,
but what's the best future-safe approach?


I hate that PageHuge() oddity with a passion! Maybe it would be better
if it was called PageHugetlbfs.
