In certain page migration situations, a THP page can be migrated without being split into it's constituent subpages. This saves time required to split a THP and put it back together when required. But it also saves an wider address range translation covered by a single TLB entry, reducing future page fault costs. A previous patch changed platform THP helpers per generic memory semantics, clearing the path for THP migration support. This adds two more THP helpers required to create PMD migration swap entries. Now enable THP migration via ARCH_ENABLE_THP_MIGRATION.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
