I'll leave you to do the testing on this, if that's ok.

Just to make my config explicit, I have this kernel command line, which reserves
hugetlbs of all sizes for the tests:

"transparent_hugepage=madvise earlycon root=/dev/vda2 secretmem.enable
hugepagesz=1G hugepages=0:2,1:2 hugepagesz=32M hugepages=0:2,1:2
default_hugepagesz=2M hugepages=0:64,1:64 hugepagesz=64K hugepages=0:2,1:2"

Thanks,
Ryan
