That And it's not obvious that we should hard-code a page size preference to a SoC ID. If the CPU can support multiple page sizes, it should be up to the SW stack to decide, not the SoC. I'm guessing your desire is to have a single kernel build that will boot 16k by default on Apple Silicon and 4k by default on other systems, all without needing to modify the command line? Personally I think it's cleaner to just require setting the page size on the command line in these cases. > way it'd work something like this: > > 1.
