When using --no-huge mode, dynamic allocation is not supported.
Because of this limitation, the option --legacy-mem is implied
and -m may be needed to specify the amount of memory to allocate.
Otherwise the default amount MEMSIZE_IF_NO_HUGE_PAGE will be allocated.
The option --socket-mem can also be used with --legacy-mem
when hugepages are supported.

v3:
- replace "allocation" with "amount of reserved memory"
- add --socket-mem
- more rewording
v2:
- user-oriented message
- trigger warning on any legacy mem option
