Optimizing the initialization speed of 1G huge pages through
parallelization.
1G hugetlbs are allocated from bootmem, a process that is already
very fast and does not currently require optimization. Therefore,
we focus on parallelizing only the initialization phase in
`gather_bootmem_prealloc`.
Here are some test results:
