RHEL tried that in that past with 64KB on AARCH64, it led to MANY bugs all across the software stack, and they eventually reverted it - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27513209.

I'm impressed by the effort on Google's side, yet I'll be surprised if this effort will pay off.

apple's m-series chips use a 16kb page size by default so the state of things has improved significantly with software wanting to support asahi and other related endeavors

I didn't realize they had reverted it, I used to run RHEL builds on Pi systems to test for 64k page bugs because it's not like there's a POWER SBC I could buy for this.
