I think this is entirely the wrong direction to go in.
You're coming at this from a block layer perspective, and we have two
ways of doing large block devices -- qemu nvme and brd. tmpfs should
be like other filesystems and opportunistically use folios of whatever
size makes sense.
Don't add a mount option to specify what size folios to use.
