I tried the test in a loop and I can't reproduce it here.

Tested with gcc 4.9.3 and glibc 2.21 and glibc 2.22 so far,
qemu&kernel/KVM latest upstream (4.6-rc3..).

You can run this in between each invocation to guarantee all memory is
backed by THP (no need of reboot):

# echo 3 >/proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
# echo >/proc/sys/vm/compact_memory

4.5 kernel built with gcc 5.3.1 run on a older userland worked fine
too.

Next thing to test would be if there's something wrong with qemu built
with gcc 5.3.1 if run on top of a 4.4 kernel?
