So what is the reasoning for this? Where will it be set and under which conditions?
It looks like adding a lot of startup overhead for a flag that would either never be
set if it is not the default or always set if it is the default. The whole point of THP
is that it is transparent, ie. automatic, always enabled.

Cheers,
