Yes. I understood that and I think the solution is reasonable. Sadly,
it's not trivial to query the default hugepage size from userspace
AFAIK. Is parsing /proc/meminfo the only way?

What I meant was: "the tests may still fail _with the old mode of
failure (out of memory)_ if the default hugepage size is > 2MB".
