[PATCH 09/16] mm/hmm: add output flag for compound page mapping
...lag says the CPU is mapping the whole compound page (based on compound_order)

No, I got it, I just don't like the assumption that just because a PMD
or PUD points to a page that the only possible value for
compound_page() is PMD or PUD respectively. Partial mapping should be
possible in both cases, if not today, then maybe down the road with
some of the large page work that has been floating about
It seems much safer to just directly encode the PUD/PMD size in the
flags
