You do realize that the default hugepage size on x86 is 2MB, right?  So you
cannot allocate 8192 hugepages because that would be 16GB on your 12GB
system.  At 4096, you already have enough hugepages to run an 8GB VM.
Maybe you're seeing problems because you're making your poor system swap
like mad while at the same time not even using all the hugepages you're
allocating.
