I have code for 1 KiB PageGrain on MIPS qemu, which should enable a demonstration of handling a case very near VAX 512 B pages while seamlessly guaranteeing within-allocation-unit promotions to 4 KiB and 16 KiB for 64 KiB allocation units and also seamlessly handling superpage promotions to sizes that are power-of-four multiples of 64 KiB. I think there may have been some testing of a similar scenario using 256 KiB allocation units on LoongArch, but while it was verified that it didn't crash, not much was done to make sure that effective use was being made of sub- allocation unit -sized superpages esp. when there were multiple superpage sizes available between the minimum MMU mapping granularity and the kernel allocation unit.

Rolling pgcl forward to 7.0 and the intermediate pre-7.1 somehow resuscitated binutils issues with running LTP and DAMON on hppa and some others, but it got to having no LTP regressions vs. master on 16 arches. I still need to induce enough fragmentation within a qemu session to be able to observe non-negligible defragmentation costs that might be reduced.

Never mind just Linux; this would seem to raise serious issues for any group producing their own kernel without an army of lawyers on staff e.g. *BSD, RedoxOS, Graphene, ReactOS, Haiku, illumos and perhaps even plan9 and operating system textbooks and learning frameworks like FluxOSKit. There is furthermore some significant scariness about packets crossing borders rendering ppl liable for violations of all this when passing through spaces wherein USA agents may apprehend them.
