With 64k pages, the next larger segment size is 512M. The linux kernel also uses different protection flags to cover its code and data. Because of this requirement, the vast majority of the kernel code and data structures end up being mapped with 64k pages instead of the larger pages common with a 4k page kernel. Recent ARM processors support a contiguous bit in the page tables which allows the a TLB to cover a range larger than a single PTE if that range is mapped into physically contiguous ram. So, for the kernel its a good idea to set this flag. Some basic micro benchmarks show it can significantly reduce the number of L1 dTLB refills. Add boot option to enable/disable CONT marking, as well as fix a bug found by Steve Capper.
