FWIW it's ok, but also obsolete with Kirill's large-pages-in-tmpfs
work in newer kernels. With that you can just copy the executable into
a 2MB tmpfs and disable the manual huge page copying and everything
should work as usually.
So essentially it's only a hack for old kernels and old binaries.
But doesn't hurt I guess.
