One can otherwise argue that if hzp doesn't matter for except in a small
number of cases that we shouldn't use it at all.
These small number of cases can easily trigger OOM if THP is enabled. :)
And that doesn't happen in any conditions that *aren't* helped by hzp?
Sure, OOM still can happen.
But if we can eliminate a class of problem why not to do so?
