16KB PAGE_SIZE on r4k

How reliable is 16KB PAGE_SIZE on r4k-likes in kernels around 2.6.17?

Is it known to work?

it's certainly not as well tested as 4k pages but several people have reported success, most recently also on 32-bit kernels.

Btw, r4k is a bit ambigous, did you mean R4000 or 4K?

mostly R4000-like MIPS32en, actually
