Subject[RFC PATCH 1/3] Add flags for temporary compound pages
This chunk of the patch just adds the necessary page flags to support
what I call a temporary compound page. Temporary compound pages provide
us with the ability to turn a chunk of pages into a proper THP at some
point after pulling them off the free list, but also allow us to fault
in single 4K pages from the chunk.
