[PLUG] Transparent Hugepage support in Ubuntu 11.04

["K.S. Bhaskar" <bhaskar@bhaskars.com>]

Although transparent hugepages are part of the 2.6.38 kernel, it looks
like the Ubuntu 11.04 kernels, both generic and kernel, are built with
the feature disabled:

$ grep TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE /boot/config-2.6.38-7-generic
# CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE is not set
$

The Fedora Core 15 alpha however has it enabled.  Does anyone know
whether Ubuntu plans to enable transparent hugepages in their default
kernels?  If they don't enable them, I think I should switch to FC 15
once it is released in May.
