Technically, support for any particular page size and endianness
configuration is an optional architectural feature.

I don't think we can capture this information for each SoC family or
specific SoC.

The best thing we can do is early checks in the EFI stub (and
potentially bootloaders) to check whether the kernel's configured page
size and endianness is implemented.

Thanks,
Mark.
