When you have terabytes of RAM you want large pages anyways.

As each stack will need to use [1] at least one page of physical memory, large pages are not great for stacks as they will normally waste memory.

[1] for classic contiguous stacks of course. That doesn't apply for separately allocated frames or segmented stacks.
