DAX uses a couple of bits in the radix tree entry to describe whether this is a PTE/PMD/PUD and so also knows the size of the entry that it found.  We also store swap cache entries in the same radix tree (tagged exceptional).  These currently have no information in them to describe their size because each one represents only one page.  The latest patchset to support swapping huge pages inserts 512 entries into the radix tree instead of taking advantage of the multiorder entry infrastructure.  Hopefully that gets fixed soon, but it will require stealing a bit from either the number of swap files allowed or from the maximum size of each swap file (currently 32/128GB)

Yes, someting like that.

Iterator could keep pointer to current node and reuse it for next
iteration if possible.

We have 7 callers of radix_tree_iter_next() in my current tree (after applying this patch set, so range_tag_if_tagged and locate_item have been pushed into their callers): btrfs, kugepaged, page-writeback and shmem.  btrfs knows its objects occupy one slot.  khugepaged knows that its page is order 0 at the time it calls radix_tree_iter_next().  Page-writeback has a struct page and can simply use compound_order().  It's shmem where things get sticky, although it's all solvable with some temporary variables.

Users who work only with single slot enties don't get any complications,
all other already manage these multiorder entries somehow.
