[OpenAFS] Enquiry about the Project Size: OpenAFS Linux kernel module-Multi page folio support

[Cheyenne Wills]

The project is an advanced project due to the scope and complexity of
the project.  It will require advanced programming skills in C and
knowledge of building Linux kernel modules, Linux VFS interfaces and
Linux memory management. 

Currently within OpenAFS, we have support for folios, but we treat them
as just a single page and do not take full advantage of folios.  The
project's goal is adapt the existing OpenAFS code to utilize multiple
page folios.  This will involve reviewing the existing code base to
understand the existing use of folios, then expanding that use where
appropriate.
