No, it doesn't.  I have a 42-bit physical address (really 64-bit but the
H/W currently ignores the upper bits) that (in the LP32 case) needs to be
encoded in a 32-bit value.  Since I have 8K pages (12-bits) I can stuff
the necessary bits into the address and have 2 bits left over.  Wow!  I
can encode all of 4 different special cases!  Consider I need to specify
wheter the address range is virtually cacheable, physically cacheable,
or has sideffects, and/or needs endianness flipping, I really don't have
space to encode the page size.
