16.3 Virtual Address Translation

Virtual Page Size Encodings

Page size is defined in each TLB entry's PageMask field. This field is loaded or read using the PageMask register, as described in Chapter 14, PageMask Register (5).

Each entry translates a pair of physical pages. The low bit of the virtual address page is not compared, because it is used to select between these two physical pages.
