Starting in 11.2.0.2 you can set a parameter to regulate hugepages usage, 
including to ONLY use hugepages.  I.E. if hugepages is not available, do not 
start up instance.
USE_LARGE_PAGES To Enable HugePages In 11.2 [ID 1392497.1]

Taylor,
ASM uses memory anyway so why not give hugepages to it ?
I see at least one benefit - if there will be paging on the system
your ASM's SGA will not be paged out.
