I don't have the links to document it right now, but it looks like the
'raspi' kernels forked from generic arm64 ones while there was a bug
involving Transparent Huge Pages that warranted turning them off. That
bug is long-fixed in arm64, but the raspi kernels appear to be keeping
it as a vestigial workaround to a bug that doesn't exist.

I've done some testing of raspi kernels where the config is changed back
to enabling THP with 'madvise', and it works beautifully.
