One possibility would be to MADV_NOHUGEPAGE the regions, which at
least would fix the immediate flakiness. Then we could spend some time
adding a test case which specifically targets THP interactions? (I do
think we want test coverage of that in the end, but with the current
tests it's kind of "accidental".)

If we can't reproduce it with khugepaged yet, I'd think we can also consider
keep torturing thp with this patch and at the meantime look for a clean
approach?

Now it's only the event test failing, if we apply NOHUGEPAGE we give up thp for
all.
