Ah, good point. I was actually talking about doing this adjustment for ram regardless of whether we're using large pages--not necessarily for all memory allocations. I saw no harm in doing this alignment even if we were using tmpfs and just getting 4k pages. Of course, I think we're in agreement here though :-) > I like the idea.

Not so fond of hardcoding a path in QEMU though. > If we had a unified tmpfs/hugetlbfs, I think it would make a lot of sense. I think I need to ask around though first and see how reasonable that is.
