Add support for checking and coalescing multi-hugepage-backed fixed buffers. The coalescing optimizes both time and space consumption caused by mapping and storing multi-hugepage fixed buffers. A coalescable multi-hugepage buffer should fully cover its folios (except potentially the first and last one), and these folios should have the same size. These requirements are for easier processing later, also we need same size'd chunks in io_import_fixed for fast iov_iter adjust.

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 reStructuredText 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.
