Add the ``thp_shmem=`` kernel command line to allow specifying the default policy of each supported shmem hugepage size. The kernel parameter accepts the following format: thp_shmem=<size>[KMG],<size>[KMG]:<policy>;<size>[KMG]-<size>[KMG]:<policy> For example, thp_shmem=16K-64K:always;128K,512K:inherit;256K:advise;1M-2M:never;4M-8M:within_size Some GPUs may benefit from using huge pages. Since DRM GEM uses shmem to allocate anonymous pageable memory, it's essential to control the huge page allocation policy for the internal shmem mount. This control can be achieved through the ``transparent_hugepage_shmem=`` parameter. Beyond just setting the allocation policy, it's crucial to have granular control over the size of huge pages that can be allocated. The GPU may support only specific huge page sizes, and allocating pages larger/smaller than those sizes would be ineffective.
