> Letting userspace know the page size was IMO a design mistake.

How would you have had users handle SIMD tails?



Fixed-length SIMD was a design mistake too.

But realistically, you only need to know the lower bound for the page size, so pages larger by an unknown multiple are not a problem. Or use masked loads, and don't even worry about pages.
