The ROCm team needs to answer that.

Yes and no.

The problem is the HW can't do this.

Well this is generally nice to have, but there are unfortunately some HW 
limitations which makes ROCm pretty much unusable on non 4k page size systems.

What we can do is to support graphics and MM, but that should already work out 
of the box.

I need to talk with Alex and the ROCm team about it if workarounds can be 
implemented for those issues.
