+1
Also, while this is indeed a runtime-computed parameter, it won't be
initialized until after 'postgres -C' has been handled, so 'postgres -C'
will always report it as "off". However, I'm not sure it makes sense to
check it with 'postgres -C' anyway since you want to know if the current
server is using huge pages.
At the moment, I think I'd vote for a new function instead of a GUC.
