Those are in failure paths practically impossible to trigger unless
the memory layout is misconfigured and the kernel won't succeed
booting so I guess I didn't care much what I wrote in those 3 sorry.
Replacing those with THP surely sounds valid cleanup to avoid
confusion if you add a "THP:" prefix elsewhere.

Thanks,
Andrea
