I really, really, don't want to go down this path of proliferating memslot crud
throughout the virtual memory allocators. I would much rather we solve this by
teaching the VM creation helpers to (optionally) use hugepages. The amount of
churn required just so that one test can back code with hugepages is absurd, and
there's bound to be tests in the future that want to force hugepages as well.
