arch/s390/mm/gmap.c:thp_split_mm() sets VM_NOHUGEPAGE to make sure there
are *really* no thp. Being able to bypass that would break KVM horribly.
Ignoring MADV_NOHUGEPAGE/VM_NOHUGEPAGE feels like the wrong way to go.
What about a prctl instead, to disable any khugepagd activity and just
let that process control it manually?
