Yes.
Last I checked, on all architectures it is a built-in, apart from
x86_64. There are two modules available on x86_64 the Intel and Amd
one, and the right one is detected and autoloaded on boot.

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.
