Ben Wolsieffer 275fa4162c jemalloc: disable transparent huge pages by default on ARMv6/7
The default NixOS kernels for ARMv7 (and probably ARMv6) do not have support
for transparent huge pages, but jemalloc is unable to detect this. This is a
known bug and the current solution is to pass --disable-thp to ./configure.
