You can use 4K pages with Seattle, you just have to use 4-level (48-bit
VA) tables in order for the idmap to be able to address the physical
memory.

Ard Biesheuvel has some patches [1,2] which will allow the idmap to use
4 levels while keeping the rest of the tables as 3-level, which should
alleviate any performance impact 4-level tables could have.

Hopefully those will be upstream shortly.

Thanks,
Mark.
