We're going to allow mapping of individual 4k pages of THP compound and
we need a cheap way to find out how many time the compound page is
mapped with PMD -- compound_mapcount() does this.

We use the same approach as with compound page destructor and compound
order: use space in first tail page, ->mapping this time.

page_mapcount() counts both: PTE and PMD mappings of the page.

What's not shown here is the implementation of page_mapcount_reset() that's unchanged... is that correct from all callers?

This could use some more detailed explanation, or at least pointers to the relevant rmap functions. Also in commit message.

This looks like it could uselessly duplicate-inline the code for compound_mapcount(). It has atomics and smp_rmb() so I'm not sure if the compiler can just "squash it".

On the other hand, a simple atomic read that was page_mapcount() has turned into multiple atomic reads and flag checks. What about the stability of the whole result? Are all callers ok? (maybe a later page deals with it).
