This time the locking is right and HPAGE_PMD_SIZE is used instead of
HPAGE_SIZE, thanks! I think all 5 patches can go in -mm and upstream
anytime (not mandatory for 2.6.38 but definitely we want this for
2.6.39).

BTW, Andi in his NUMA THP improvement series added a THP_SPLIT vmstat
per-cpu counter so that part removed from his series, is taken care by
him.
