[merged] mm-make-transparent-hugepage-size-public.patch removed from -mm tree

[akpm]

The patch titled
     Subject: mm: make transparent hugepage size public
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-make-transparent-hugepage-size-public.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

From: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com>
Subject: mm: make transparent hugepage size public

Test programs want to know the size of a transparent hugepage.  While it
is commonly the same as the size of a hugetlbfs page (shown as
Hugepagesize in /proc/meminfo), that is not always so: powerpc implements
transparent hugepages in a different way from hugetlbfs pages, so it's
coincidence when their sizes are the same; and x86 and others can support
more than one hugetlbfs page size.

Add /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/hpage_pmd_size to show the THP
size in bytes - it's the same for Anonymous and Shmem hugepages.  Call it
hpage_pmd_size (after HPAGE_PMD_SIZE) rather than hpage_size, in case some
transparent support for pud and pgd pages is added later.
