That works, but does mean that we have to scan the mmu_psize_defs[]
array to work out the encoding for a particular page size. Instead,
we could use the fact that all large page sizes are powers of 4, as
are all supported page sizes on embedded processors. So we could
encode using page_code = (page_order - 12) / 2, where page_order is
the log base 2 of the page size, and that lets us represent all power
of 4 page sizes between 2^12 (4kB) and 2^42 bytes (4TB).
Paul.
