I can't find the exact documents but I think both Windows
MegaUltimateServer (the highest priced version of Windows Server,
whatever it's called today) and Linux (though disabled and marked
Experimental) have it, or have some kind of support for large pages
that might not be as pervasive (maybe they use it for kernel only?). I
have no idea about (Open)Solaris.
