Is there any documents I can reference? As I have get from ARM document, the Cortex-A53 support 16k page size, and Cortex-A57 don’t. The document can be found at:

	http://infocenter.arm.com/help/index.jsp?topic=/com.arm.doc.den0024a/BABDJHAD.html

Reference it here:

The supported granule sizes are 4KB, 16KB, and 64KB, and it is implementation defined which of the three are supported. Code that creates page tables is able to read the system register ID_AA64MMFR0_EL1, to find out which are the supported sizes. The Cortex-A53 processor supports all three sizes, but this is not the case for early versions of some processors, such as the Cortex-A57, which did not support the 16K granule size. The size is configurable for each translation table within the Translation Control Register (TCR_EL1).

Did I miss something?
