For now, I am not yet convinced about removing the init_on_alloc default option. I would agree if anyone argues that a page recycling mechanism defeats the purpose of the option anyway. But it would, at least, be restricted to whatever uses such mechanisms. (I am familiar with some network drivers that do.)
I hope it's at least useful for you to know what we are leaning torwards here.
