You are right, there isn't any.
The code in mysqld.cc only works if HAVE_SOLARIS_LARGE_PAGES is defined:
3229 #endif /* HAVE_LARGE_PAGES */
3230 #ifdef HAVE_SOLARIS_LARGE_PAGES
3231 #define LARGE_PAGESIZE (4*1024*1024) /* 4MB */
3232 #define SUPER_LARGE_PAGESIZE (256*1024*1024) /* 256MB */
3233 if (opt_large_pages)
3234 {
...
3278 }
3279 #endif /* HAVE_SOLARIS_LARGE_PAGES */
