I mentioned this Darrick in one of the older series[1] that it was
proving to be a bit complicated (at least for me) to add that support.
Currently, we reserve the ZERO_PAGE during kernel startup (arch/x86/kernel/head_64.S).
Do we go about doing the same by reserving 1 PMD (512 PTEs with base page size)
at kernel startup if we want to have zeroed 2MB (for x86) always at
our disposal to use for zeroing out?
Because allocating it during runtime will defeat the purpose.
Let me know what you think.
In anycase, I would like to pursue huge_zero_page folio separately
from this series. Also iomap_dio_zero() only pads a fs block with
zeroes, which should never be > 64k for XFS.
