Hi all,

With Matthew's THP in pagecache patches[1], we will be able to handle any size
pagecache THPs, but currently split_huge_page can only split a THP to order-0
pages. This can easily erase the benefit of having pagecache THPs, when
operations like truncate might want to keep pages larger than order-0. In
response, here is the patches to add support for splitting a THP to any lower
order pages. In addition, this patchset prepares for my PUD THP patchset[2],
since splitting a PUD THP to multiple PMD THPs can be handled by
split_huge_page_to_list_to_order function added by this patchset, which reduces
a lot of redundant code without just replicating split_huge_page for PUD THP.

The patchset is on top of Matthew's pagecache/next tree[3].

To ease the tests of split_huge_page functions, I added a new debugfs interface
at <debugfs>/split_huge_pages_in_range_pid, so developers can split THPs in a
given range from a process with the given pid by writing
"<pid>,<vaddr_start>,<vaddr_end>,<to_order>" to the interface. I also added a
new test program to test 1) split PMD THPs, 2) split pagecache THPs to any lower
order, and 3) truncating a pagecache THP to a page with a lower order.

Suggestions and comments are welcome. Thanks.
