Subject: arm64/mm: override arch_wants_pte_order()
Date: Fri, 29 Sep 2023 12:44:18 +0100

Define an arch-specific override of arch_wants_pte_order() so that when
anon_orders=recommend is set, large folios will be allocated for anonymous
memory with an order that is compatible with arm64's HPA uarch feature.
