That might well be true, but I'm *very* uncomfortable with doing a folio conversion in core MM that won't work with large folios. We need to consider what will happen with large device folios.
(for filesystems, I am less bothered. Individual filesystems control whether they see large folios or not, and for lesser filesystems it may never be worth converting them to support large folios)
