This would likely negatively impact 32-bit, as it makes slice size 4GB.

With so large hugepages it underflows mmap address, so I'd increase it, until
we start with one larger than zero:

        free(heap);


Another issue however is the use of MAP_FIXED, which can stomp over
existing mappings:

[pid 48607] 04:50:51 mmap(0x20000000, 2147483648, PROT_READ,
MAP_SHARED|MAP_FIXED, 3, 0) = 0x20000000
[pid 48607] 04:50:51 munmap(0x20000000, 2147483648) = 0

test may PASS, but at the end you get:
