Alternatively, this could be represented as a single u8 page_shift,
where page_size = 1 << (page_shift + 12), and then existing devices
would "just work" (assuming they filled the padding with 0). It is
probably still a good idea to guard it with a feature bit, though, so
it doesn't really make that much difference.
