New virHostMemGetTHPSize() is introduced which allows caller to obtain THP PMD (Page Middle Directory) size, which is equal to the minimal size that THP can use, taken from kernel doc (Documentation/admin-guide/mm/transhuge.rst):
Some userspace (such as a test program, or an optimized memory allocation library) may want to know the size (in bytes) of a transparent hugepage::
cat /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/hpage_pmd_size
Since this size depends on the host architecture and the kernel it won't change whilst libvirtd is running. Therefore, we can use virOnce() and cache the value. Of course, we can be running under kernel that has THP disabled or has no notion of THP at all. In that case a negative value is returned to signal error.

Please add a comment that it's in kiB.
