Hello everyone.

I have had good results speeding up some big lookup-table accesses by
backing them with hugepages (and initializing them upon application
startup.)

Is there a straightforward way I could configure / instruct the gc to alloc
the first few heap chunks using hugepages when available? Possibly by
letting it alloc memory with (hugepage backed) malloc instead of mmap or
sbrk?

Regards, Stefan Kral.
