Research direction

Start by locating the AArch64 page-size handling for the existing 4K and 2MiB sizes in the Microkit codebase. Trace how those sizes are represented, selected, and validated, then add equivalent 1GiB support and verify the relevant build or tests pass.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Currently Microkit supports 4K and 2MiB page sizes. It would be fairly easy to add 1GiB page sizes as well which would be useful especially for things like virtual machines.
