It was mentioned in commit message of 04/17.

Okay.

It just shifts cost of zeroing from page allocator here. It should not
have huge effect.

Okay.

If MKTME is not enabled compile-time, this translation unit doesn't
compile at all.

I have not yet optimized for run-time unsupported case. I'll optimized it
based on performance measurements.
