Subject[RFC][PATCH 3/3] pagemap: document KPF_THP and show make page-types aware of it
Date
page-types, which is a common user of pagemap, gets aware of thp
with this patch. This helps system admins and kernel hackers to know
about how thp works.
Here is a sample output of page-types over a thp:

voffset offset len flags
...
7f9d40200 3fd200 1 ___U_lA____Ma_b_______t____________
7f9d40201 3fd201 1ff ______________________t____________
...

flags page-count MB symbolic-flags long-symbolic-flags
0x0000000000400000 511 1 ______________________t____________ thp
0x0000000000405868 1 0 ___U_lA____Ma_b_______t____________ uptodate,lru,active,mmap,anonymous,swapbacked,thp
