Sure, but then I don't care for the name so much, but I can think on
that some too.

I think the feedback I was most hoping to receive was pertaining to a
means for removing the PG_uninitialized2Mib flag entirely.  If I could
get rid of that and have some page-local way of knowing if it has not
been initialized, I think this patch set would be much better.
