In my opinion it will be best to set vm.allocate_pgste = 1 unconditionally, regardless of whether qemu is installed or not, and only have the user switch it off for certain memory-intensive workloads (if required at all).

Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Hello, to use qemu one needs vm.allocate_pgste = 1, on kernels that support that setting e.g. s390x. I'm now setting it with a sysctl.d snippet in procps package, however I was wondering if it could be set by default. Or not.
