Yeah.. the .c in the prefix is not desirable, I missed that in the subject line

I think addressed most of it, I missed the subject line, but in general addressed
1. Using folio_split_ as the prefix to split functions, the main function is called folio_split_unmapped and the helper name was suggested by Zi to be __folio_freeze_and_split_unmapped() and it sounded better than what I had __folio_split_unmapped() or even __folio_split_freeze_unmapped()
2. Got rid of _to_order() as the function suffix
Do you have any more outstanding comments that I missed?
Thanks for the review!
Balbir
