Yes, makes sense to me.

'default_hugepagesz=' is not always followed by 'hugepages=', but if we 
specify 'hugepages=' along with 'default_hugepagesz=' it will try to 
allocate the hugepage size specified. If the size is not supported by 
hardware, it will try to allocate the number of pages specified with the 
default hugepage size of the arch, which is not the desired behavior. So 
calling add_huge_page_size would verify if the hugepage size is 
supported and in case it's not, hugepages will not be allocated.
