[$] Using large folios for text areas

Description:
Quite a bit of work has been done in recent years to allow the kernel to
make more use of large folios.  That progress has not yet reached the
handling of text (executable code) areas, though.  During the
memory-management track of the 2025 Linux Storage, Filesystem,
Memory-Management, and BPF Summit, Ryan Roberts ran a session on how that
situation might be improved.  It would be a relatively small and contained
operation, but can give a measurable performance improvement.
