This option increases the number of hash misses by limiting the number
of kernel HPT entries, by keeping a per-CPU record of the last kernel
HPTEs installed, and removing that from the hash table on the next hash
insertion. A timer round-robins CPUs removing remaining kernel HPTEs and
clearing the TLB (in the case of bare metal) to increase and slightly
randomise kernel fault activity.

This option increases the number of SLB misses by limiting the number
of kernel SLB entries, and increased flushing of cached lookaside
information. This helps stress test difficult to hit paths in the
kernel.
