More changelog.  More comments, please.

We don't want to COW THP's because we'll waste memory?  A COW that we
could handle with 4k, we would have to handle with 2M, and that's
inefficient and high-latency?

Seems like a good idea to me.  It would just be nice to ensure every
reviewer doesn't have to think their way through it.
