We have hugepages and such for a reason.  And this can be
made more dynamic and flexible, as needed.

Increasing the page size is a "stick your head in the sand"
type solution by my book.

Especially when you can make the hugepage facility stronger
and thus get what you want without the memory wastage side
effects.
