You mean the 64K page size, or the whole patch?

Agreed, but IIRC on the last RFC you asked me not to drop the 64K
pages, so that's why they are here. I can remove them if needed.

The only reason for keeping them from a performance point of view is
better efficiency on GPUs with 64K page size if not using a coalescing
IOMMU for dma-mapping.

Let me know what you think is best and I'll adjust accordingly.
