I can see how this can over consume on thread's stacks because those are
usually 2MB in size by default (by glibs) and the alignment would make it more
likely THP target. I do not see THP would consume all the additional memory,
though. Runtime overhead is likely a more likely visible effect.

That being said. No objection to taking the patch from my end.
