Dimitri - Setting vm.allocate_pgste is a policy decision (which the
kernel typically does not make). Is there a good reason not to set it in
procps ? There is some extra overhead when vm.allocate_pgste=1.

Title:
  Could you set vm.allocate_pgste = 1 by default?

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Hello,

  to use qemu one needs  vm.allocate_pgste = 1, on kernels that support that setting e.g. s390x.
  I'm now setting it with a sysctl.d snippet in procps package, however I was wondering if it could be set by default.

  Or not.
