We just have 512MB for a 64KB granule.
As per [1] D4.2.6 - "The VMSAv8-64 translation table format" page D4-1668.

Hi David,
Thanks for posting this, and apologies in advance for talking about
the ARM ARM[1]...

D4.4.2 "Other fields in the VMSAv8-64 translation table format
descriptors" (page D4-1715)
Only gives examples of the contiguous bit being used for level 3
descriptors (i.e. PTEs) when running with a 4KB and 64KB granule.

With a 16KB granule we *can* have a contiguous bit being used by level
2 descriptors (i.e. PMDs), so the pmd_contig logic could perhaps be
used in combination with Suzuki's 16KB PAGE_SIZE series at:
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2015-September/370117.html

I will read through the rest of the patch and post more feedback

Cheers,

Steve
