The arbitrary 4MB minimum namespace size turns out to be too large for
some environments. Quoting Cheng-mean Liu:
In the case of emulated NVDIMM devices in the VM environment, there
are scenarios that NVDIMM device with much smaller sizes are
desired, for example, we might use a single enumerated NVDIMM DAX
device for representing each container layer, which in some cases
could be just a few KBs size.
PAGE_SIZE is the minimum where we can still support DAX of at least
a single page.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
