This patch set does not pass xfstests.  Test at your own risk.  It is
based on the readahead rewrite which is in Andrew's tree.  The large
pages somehow manage to fall off the LRU, so the test VM quickly runs
out of memory and freezes.  To reproduce:

# mkfs.xfs /dev/sdb && mount /dev/sdb /mnt && dd if=/dev/zero bs=1M count=2048 of=/mnt/bigfile && sync && sleep 2 && sync && echo 1 >/proc/sys/vm/drop_caches 
# /host/home/willy/kernel/xarray-2/tools/vm/page-types | grep thp

The principal idea here is that a large part of the overhead in dealing
with individual pages is that there's just so darned many of them.  We
would be better off dealing with fewer, larger pages, even if they don't
get to be the size necessary for the CPU to use a larger TLB entry.

Matthew Wilcox (Oracle) (24):
  mm: Allow hpages to be arbitrary order
  mm: Introduce thp_size
  mm: Introduce thp_order
  mm: Introduce offset_in_thp
  fs: Add a filesystem flag for large pages

  iomap: Support arbitrarily many blocks per page
  iomap: Support large pages in iomap_adjust_read_range
  iomap: Support large pages in read paths
  iomap: Support large pages in write paths
  iomap: Inline data shouldn't see large pages
  xfs: Support large pages
  mm: Make prep_transhuge_page return its argument
  mm: Add __page_cache_alloc_order
  mm: Allow large pages to be added to the page cache
  mm: Allow large pages to be removed from the page cache
  mm: Remove page fault assumption of compound page size
  mm: Add DEFINE_READAHEAD
  mm: Make page_cache_readahead_unbounded take a readahead_control
  mm: Make __do_page_cache_readahead take a readahead_control
  mm: Add large page readahead
