We've seen some issues where accessing remote hugepages causes performance
degradations over accessing local pages that affects some workloads, but
that seems like a mempolicy issue rather than madvise. You probably want
local hugepages but not fallback to remote hugepages before allocating
local pages? It would be interesting to see /proc/pid/numa_maps and
/proc/pid/smaps for workloads that don't like thp.
