The variable page size lets each mapping independently represent memory regions that can
range from 4 KB to 16 MB. This feature lets the system designer adjust the address mapping
granularity for different memory regions.
Locking TLB entries excludes entries from being recommended for replacement when there is
an address miss. This lets the system designer have mappings for critical regions of code and
or data locked into the TLB for predictable real time performance.
