To large page or not to large page

[Jimi Xenidis]

It seems as tho Linux will map the kernel with large pages if the
processor allows it regardless if the lmb is sufficient to hold a
large page, correct?

Is there some runtime option to force the use of 4K pages.

Ultimately, my desire is to define a 256Mig segment that, using a
Hypervisor, that can be populated by shared pages that can physically
belong to the  hypervisor or other partions/domains) and restrict the
mappings to 4k.  I have some ideas, but am willing to hear any suggestions.
