So, on top of [1] without rmap batching but with a slightly modified 
version of yours (that keeps the existing code structure as pointed out 
and e.g., updates counter updates), running my fork() microbenchmark 
with a 1 GiB of memory:

Compared to [1], with all order-0 pages it gets 13--14% _slower_ and 
with all PTE-mapped THP (order-9) it gets ~29--30% _faster_.

So looks like we really want to have a completely seprate code path for 
"!folio_test_large()" to keep that case as fast as possible. And 
"Likely" we want to use "likely(!folio_test_large()". ;)

Performing rmap batching on top of that code only slightly (another 1% 
or so) improves performance in the PTE-mapped THP (order-9) case right 
now, in contrast to other rmap batching. Reason is as all rmap code gets 
inlined here and we're only doing subpage mapcount updates + PAE handling.
