Public bug reported:
It appears that large page support and transparent hugepages are
disabled in config on the Raspberry Pi. It would be nice if they were
enabled in the kernel configuration, even if they are disabled by
default. Then they could be set in user-editable config via the
"transparent_hugepage" boot option.
With 4GB hardware in this family, there might be valid uses for large
pages.
