Suddenly converting from 2M to 4k is a requirement, otherwise we could
just use hugetlbfs.
It's simple, we want huge pages when we have the memory and small pages
when we don't. Only the kernel knows about memory pressure, so it's up
to the kernel to break apart and put together those huge pages.
If you have other requirements, they have to come on top, not replace
our requirements.

I have a truly marvellous patch that fixes the bug which this
signature is too narrow to contain.
