[IA64] Set default page size to 64k It seems that 16k page size causes Itanium processors to have significant TLB overhead when the working set is growing beyond 2M. Setting the page size to 64k reduces this problem. See the paper of the researchers at the TU Dresden on TLB issues: http://www.cs.utah.edu/wmpi/2006/final-version/wmpi-posters-3-Juckeland.pdf and my presentation http://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/christoph/gelato/gelato2007-tlb-tricks.pdf.
