Hah, I totally skipped over the old code in the diff.

It looks like we'll disable hugetblfs *entirely* if PSE isn't supported.
 I think this is actually wrong, but nobody ever noticed.  I think you'd
have to be running as a guest under a hypervisor that's lying about PSE
not being supported *and* care about 1GB pages.  Nobody does that.
