[Bug 2059400] [NEW] autopkgtest fails on arm64: EAL: eal_memalloc_alloc_seg_bulk(): couldn't find suitable memseg_list

[Frode Nordahl]

Public bug reported:

There appears to be two sets of arm64 nodes used for autopkgtests, the
ones coming from the bos02 region are missing a CPU feature that
prevents the test from running, the ones coming from the bos03 region
have the required CPU features but the test fails [0].

Changing from using 2M hugepages to 1G hugepages resolves the issue.

We still need to allocate some 2M hugepages though, to avoid the tests
from being skipped.
