Something like :

/*
  * ARM64 kernel is guaranteed to be loaded at 2M aligned
  * address (as per booting requirements). Hence we can use
  * section mapping with 4K (section size = 2M) and not with
  * 16K(section size = 32M) or 64K (section size = 512M).
  */

>> +	 * SECTION maps, i.e, 64K pages) memory starting from PHYS_OFFSET
>> +	 * (which must be aligned to 2MB as per Documentation/arm64/booting.txt).

You are right, I missed it. We can drop the pagesize info entirely.

Done.
