What do CI systems do for HugeTLB and THP? Those are the other config options I
can think of where there are very interesting interactions from a KVM perspective,
but where KVM doesn't have a strict dependency on the feature.

E.g. x86_64_defconfig selects CONFIG_HUGETLBFS=y, but I don't see anything for THP,
and AFAICT TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE is default=n.
