x86 Page Sizes

I know the x86 linux kernel has 4K pages in userspace and 4M pages in
kernel space. These two sizes seem to be limitations of the intel
architecture (I think).

Does anyone know a way to increase the userspace page size above 4K?
Are there any patches for a 4M userspace pagesize?

Thanks,
Dan
