In theory, yes. However I'm not sure if it is really measurable to
real life workload. I would like to make the huge NUMA hinting behave
like its PTE counterpart for now. If your PTE NUMA hinting patch
proves the TLB shooting down optimization is really worth it we could
easily do it for the PMD side too.
