In an ideal world we'd have variable sized pages ... but
since most arcthitectures have no h/w support for these
it may be a long time before that comes to Linux.

In a fixed page size world the right page size to use
depends on the workload and the capacity of the system.

When memory capacity is measured in hundreds of GB, then
a larger page size doesn't look so ridiculous.
