I do not get what is the problem with this test on a machine without
hugepages or transparent hugepages. The test just tries to execute true
with excessively large array of command line arguments, if that fails
without hugepages it's a kernel bug.

Does this two fail on an attempt to find "Hugepagesize:" in meminfo
file? Otherwise I do not see how they can fail.
