Just an observation on folio->private, it is void*, but page->private
is unsigned long. It confused me a bit. There are folio_get_private()
and folio_change_private(), I wonder if we want to use them here
instead of direct ->private accesses. Feel free to ignore this,
since it is irrelevant to this patch.

LGTM.
