Thanks for the quick response. Kdump in Ubuntu, for example, rely in
mounting the root filesystem.
Even in initrd-only approaches, we could have sysctl.conf being copied
to initramfs, and hugepages end-up getting set.
Also, I don't think the "nohugepages" is useful only for kdump - I
found odd we cannot prevent the creation of hugepages at all when
using sysfs writes.
Cheers,
Guilherme
