There are mainly two reasons that thp_get_unmapped_area() should be

    commit 74d2fad1334d ("thp, dax: add thp_get_unmapped_area for pmd
    mappings");

  - It's useful together with CONFIG_READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS which enables
    THPs for read-only mmapped files (e.g. shared libraries) even without

Refine this part as
