Xen might get ported to; the only restriction of the current interface
is that it can't support page sizes from 64k up. On an architecture
e.g. not supporting other than 8k pages things would still be fine,
yet the comment above would then be wrong.

An alternative might be to say "... is always the smallest
architecturally supported page size (e.g. 4k on x86 and ARM)
irrespective of ...".

While this is true today, I don't see anything that would prevent a new architecture to respect this.

What about replacing 4KB by "Xen Page size" and define this size per architecture in arch-*.h?
