Heh, I realized this is not completely true.
Users can check whether the feature is __enabled__ by checking the sys fs,
but although it is enabled, it might not be effective.
This might be due to a different number of reasons, vmemmap does not fully
span a PMD, the size we want to add spans more than a single memory block, etc.
That is what
"Note that even when enabled, there are a few cases where the feature is not
effective."
is supposed to mean.
Anyway, I did not change my opionion on this.
Thanks
