[PATCH v8 0/6] elf: THP-aware load segment alignment

Linux reads much larger blocks from the filesystem, so yes,
it's beneficial if the binary is large enough and you have THP.
Small binaries can't really benefit.

Tunables are almost for free, it's just checking a global
variable, not a system call.

Cheers,
