As mentioned elsewhere, the problem with this is we don't want to allocate an entire hugepage per stack just to get a guard page. There is a simple way to verify this. If the application is run without the hugepage stacks option and it does not seg fault, then we know it is safe to run the application with the hugepage stacks given the same thread stack size.
