IIRC, CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE_FREE_VMEMMAP was supposed to be enabled by default,
right?
And we would control whether we __really__ want to this by a boot option,
which was disabled by default?

If you go for populating the memmap with basepages by checking
CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE_FREE_VMEMMAP, would not everybody, even the ones that
did not enable this by the boot option be affected?
