Yes

Bigger buffer xtest tries to allocate is mere 32KB. I believe that 1MB
is enough for the most cases, because OP-TEE itself have a very limited
resources. But this value is chosen arbitrary.

It is still before get_domain_ram_page() call. But for clarity I can add
comment like "Only 4k pages are supported right now".
