KVM huge page backing support can not be easily tested under
s390. Currently testing is only possible after most of the guest has
already been set up.
To indicate, that KVM has huge page backing support with 1m pages, we
add the KVM_CAP_S390_HPAGE capability. This does not mean, that
transparent huge pages are supported.
