Sanity check time. Is anyone really going to use this? Seriously,
honestly, for real? If "yes" then how did we determine that?
Also, a bit of a nit: "init_on_alloc" and "init_on_free" aren't very
well chosen names for the boot options - they could refer to any kernel
object at all, really. init_pages_on_alloc would be better? I don't think
this matters much - the boot options are already chaotic. But still...
