Note that the OS won't give a huge page automatically, because memory
management becomes much more inflexible then.
For example, the Linux madvise() man page has this to say about
MADV_HUGEPAGE:
This feature is primarily aimed at applications that
use large mappings of data and access large regions of
that memory at a time (e.g., virtualization systems
such as QEMU). It can very easily waste memory (e.g.,
a 2 MB mapping that only ever accesses 1 byte will
result in 2 MB of wired memory instead of one 4 KB
page). See the Linux kernel source file Documenta‐
tion/vm/transhuge.txt for more details.
I'm not sure a small objects allocator falls into the right use case
for huge pages.

Antoine.
