Ondrej Zajicek 928a1cb034 Alloc: Disable transparent huge pages 
The usage pattern implemented in allocator seems to be incompatible with
transparent huge pages, as memory released using madvise(MADV_DONTNEED)
with regular page size and alignment does not seem to trigger demotion
of huge pages back to regular pages, even when significant number of
pages is released. Even if demotion is triggered when system memory
is low, it still breaks memory accounting.
