Hi Kirill,
Maybe we can work on this together, 4 years ago I submitted set of patches, but those went almost unnoticed.
I’ve got routines for defragmenting, setting pmd, and install huge page in process VM. I’ve come with one approach, that given page should be available for processes as huge page and normal page, to avoid splitting. As far as I remember the challenging part for me was splitting page and synchronising those to disk - and I’m not quite sure if I had made it well.

Best reagards,
