We have some patches already from Anshuman, targeting both 4K and 16K
pages:

https://lore.kernel.org/r/1632998116-11552-1-git-send-email-anshuman.khandual@arm.com

I don't think they've been rebased on top of 6.1-rcX though. Could you
please liaise with Anshuman and agree on a way forward? I'd rather only
review a single series if they do the same thing. I have a preference
for a more complete solution (4K and 16K) rather than just 16K pages. I
think we can even ignore some corner cases like 39-bit VA (if anyone is
asking, we could do it later but it doesn't seem realistic).

And a question for Anshuman: do you plan to refresh your series?

Thanks.
