Suren has been testing 64KB THP on Android and seeing regressions
under memory pressure (a significant portion of client devices are
always under memory pressure). Hopefully this series will help.

I threw this series into some stress tests we have with both 64KB and
2MB THP enabled and didn't see any obvious problems.

And THP <2MB would need this feature (spell it out).

Thanks for the data! Based on the above:

Test case                          default   MGLRU     Change
=============================================================
mmap-xread-seq-mt/vm-scalability   14975716  15567998  +4%
mmap-pread-seq/vm-scalability      11957423  12812682  +7%
mmap-pread-seq-mt/vm-scalability   11771926  unavail   N/A
lru-file-readtwice/vm-scalability  9016077   10408804  +15%
lru-file-mmap-read/vm-scalability  8127192   7308375   -10%

So it seems that MGLRU regressed for the last test. I'll find someone
on our team to take a look.
