Subject[RFC PATCH 01/11] mm: Introduce struct folio
Date
We have trouble keeping track of whether we've already called
compound_head() to ensure we're not operating on a tail page. Further,
it's never clear whether we intend a struct page to refer to PAGE_SIZE
bytes or page_size(compound_head(page)).

Introduce a new type 'struct folio' that always refers to an entire
(possibly compound) page, and points to the head page (or base page).
