This is a bit confusing wording as we are not avoiding "using a
hugepage" but AFAIU, avoiding using a (4k) page that has a hugepage
aligned physical address, right?

This makes more sense.

Yeah I think that's a sensible use of split_page(), as we don't have
support for forcefully non-aligned allocations or specific "page
coloring" in the page allocator.
So even with my wording concerns:
