I guess Mike means:

hugetlb_hstate_alloc_pages
 alloc_bootmem_huge_page
  __alloc_bootmem_huge_page
   memblock_alloc_try_nid_raw

and AFAICS, memblock_alloc_try_nid_raw() does not zero the memory.

Then these pages are initialized in:

gather_bootmem_prealloc
 prep_compound_huge_page
 prep_new_huge_page

But as can be noticed, no one touches page->private when coming from that
path.
