  Is there a reason this 1gb page alloc is not upstream in randomx? xmrig/xmrig 1fbbae1#diff-01621fb6fdc916de883d34b0bd85e0fccd9f78693be594119f6d3591f229ab8a

  as I mentioned "for the 1-3% perf improvement over large pages doesn't seem that much for a verification library"

  also it's usually sech1 making these changes but see tevador/RandomX #312 needs approval, but tevador is not available, so I open the PR and sech1 approves :D tevador/RandomX #313

  RandomX upstream doesn't have many optimizations from XMRig

  They're too specific for a general-purpose library which is RandomX
