I read all the discussions very carefully.

Thanks, Greg.

Because RXE only supports PAGE_SIZE, when CONFIG_ARM64_64K_PAGES is 
enabled, the PAGE_SIZE is 64K, when CONFIG_ARM64_64K_PAGES is disabled, 
PAGE_SIZE is 4K.

But NVMe calls ib_map_mr_sg with a fixed size SZ_4K. When 
CONFIG_ARM64_64K_PAGES is enabled, it is still 4K. This is not a problem 
in RXE. This problem is in NVMe.

If this problem in NVMe is not fixed, NVMe still can not use RXE to make 
tests with blktests when CONFIG_ARM64_64K_PAGES is enabled.

This is not a problem in RXE, it should not be fixed in RXE.
