Comment on attachment 426998 [details] Patch MIPS64 uses a smaller page size than original MIPS? OK.

AFAIK the choice of page size is up to the kernel -- for non-embedded mips64 systems, some distributions choose a 16KB. Not sure what counts as "original MIPS", but I expect most embedded MIPS systems prefer 4KB pages (which is the previous value for CeilingOnPageSize for MIPS).

FWIW in Debian we have a downstream patch to use 16KB pages in MIPS64, it seems that Loongson CPUs don't support 4KB pages.
