This is a red herring. This is the last thing we want, and we'll run
even faster if we could make current glibc binaries to cooperate. But
this is a new feature and it'll require changing glibc slightly.

Future glibc will be optimal and it won't require khugepaged don't
worry.

I got crashes in page_mapcount != number of huge_pmd mapping the page
in split_huge_page because of the anon-vma bug, so I had to back it
out, this is why it's stable now.
