When we have the opportunity to use PMDs to map a file, we want to follow
the same rules as DAX.

Hi, Matthew

It seems this patch will make all file mappings align with PMD_SIZE? And 
support realize all file THP, not only executable file THP?

Actually, what I want to say is we had merged a similar patch to only 
align DSO mapping in glibc:

"718fdd8 elf: Properly align PT_LOAD segments [BZ #28676]"

Only those which are big enough.  See __thp_get_unmapped_area():

        if (off_end <= off_align || (off_end - off_align) < size)
                return 0;

Executables are not the only files which benefit from being mapped
to an aligned address.  If you can use a PMD to map a font file,
for example, that's valuable.
