A similar, I think, mechanism was presented in
Panwar, Ashish, Sorav Bansal, and K. Gopinath. “HawkEye: Efficient Fine-Grained OS Support for Huge Pages”. In: Proceedings of the Twenty-Fourth International Conference on Architectural Support for Programming Languages and Operating Systems. ASPLOS ’19. Providence, RI, USA: Association for Computing Machinery, 2019, pp. 347–360. doi:10.1145/3297858.3304064. https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3297858.3304064
