The ABI stipulates that it must provide a 4KB MMU page but anything else
is processor-dependant.

It also depends on what you consider "a page."
For example, if you consider a page a single mapping, depending upon
the specific chip, the BATs can be used to create large "pages' ranging
in size from 128K to 4G in size.
In terms of what are considered to be normal "pages," it's CPU-
dependent.
Thanks for the reply.
The maximum pages for the processor are taken from which document. Does the ABI
for PowerPC mentions the maximum page size ? Which document is that ?

I think what you might have meant to ask is what is
the requirement for a executables alignment so that
if the memory management on a PowerPC supports
larger pages it is guaranteed to be aligned and
thus directly able to be paged. Is so, the answer
is 64K. This is according to the ABI.
