Intel still supports 64K PTEs, so we use them where possible, otherwise
falling back to 4K. Typically we have coalescing IOMMU enabled when
testing, so can't really see the impact, but TBH I was surprised by the
number of 64K page allocations TTM spat out with this patch series, so
I definitely think there is a performance impact with !IOMMU, although
I can't quantify it ATM.
So then if it's OK with you I'll keep that size for now.
