16kB pages weren't too hard to get running before, iirc, it's just that most devices people care about went to 64kB.

Generally linux is happy unless you try to make pages smaller than 4kB,then all sorts of hell break lose in VFS

Linux is generally fine with 16K pages; userspace programs often are not.
