[RFC PATCH 3/3] Change THP behavior

[Alex Thorlton <athorlton@sgi.com>]

This patch implements the functionality we're really going for here.
It adds the decision making behavior to determine when to grab a
temporary compound page, and whether or not to fault in single pages or
to turn the temporary page into a THP.  This one is rather large, might
split it up a bit more for later versions

I've left most of my comments in here just to provide people with some
insight into what I may have been thinking when I chose to do something
in a certain way.  These will probably be trimmed down in later versions
of the patch.
