Figure 5-60: Contiguous linear addresses map to contiguous physical addresses
The eServer 326 supports a four-level page table. The uppermost level is kept private to the architecture-
specific code of SLES. The page-table setup supports up to 48 bits of address space. The x86-64 architecture
supports page sizes of 4 KB and 2 MB.
