I left it there intentionally. First one because there is description in
that comment which references noMMU. If this should be removed the whole
comment should be tuned to make sense. It is better to do it in separate
patch.

And second part. I know I removed that Kconfig macros for it but maybe
good to talk about what needs to change to support different page size
for systems with MMU.

Thanks,
Michal
