Introduce "transparent_hugepage=0" to totally disable THP.
"transparent_hugepage=never" means setting THP to be partially

Why can't you just compile it off so you never even compile
mm/huge_memory.c in the first place and save the space in the kernel image
as well? Having the interface available to enable the feature at runtime
is worth the savings this patch provides, in my opinion.
