No it didn't, I just didn't wait long enough for spew to start...

While IS_HUGE is indeed false on my box, it just doesn't matter,
because when we get to either the old or the new alloc(), it calls
swiotlb_alloc_buffer(), which drops attrs passed to it on the floor,
making it unlikely that alloc() caller wishes are granted.
