I was using the Ubuntu mainline Kernel config:

   ben@n179 ~/p/linux.git> cat .config | grep TRANSPARENT_HUG
   CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE=y
   CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE=y
   # CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_ALWAYS is not set
   CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_MADVISE=y

Being an end user having only a very limited understanding of the
internals behind this issue, I really appreciate any support I receive
from people who do. :-)
