Hi all,

At present, the split counters in THP statistics no longer include
PTE-mapped mTHP. Therefore, we want to introduce per-order mTHP split
counters to monitor the frequency of mTHP splits. This will assist
developers in better analyzing and optimizing system performance.

/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/hugepages-<size>/stats
        split
        split_failed
        split_deferred
