I think extending functionality so thp can be allocated remotely if truly 
desired is worthwhile just so long as it does not cause regressions for 
other users.  I think that is separate from the swap storm regression that 
Andrea is reporting, however, since that would also exist even if we 
allowed remote thp allocations when the host is fully fragmented rather 
than only locally fragmented.
