So the biggest page size supported right now is 64 KiB - it would be
good to have an assert somewhere to explicitly check for this
(regardless of implicit checks present in other calculations).

Also, an expression like "(64 << 10)" is more readable than a "1"
with a tail of zeroes (it's easy to add one zero too many or be one
zero short).

Thanks,
