Can we make these interfaces all use the same namespace prefix?
Here we have a mix of thp and hpage and I have no clue how hpages
are different to thps. If they refer to the same thing (i.e. huge
pages) then can we please make the API consistent before splattering
it all over the filesystem code?

Cheers,

Dave.
