I'm not against this; but at the end of the day this is a benefit loss. If there is an easy way to disable the ramlog service on these imgs, until one figures out why it isn't compat with 16k page size, I would go that road.

With that said you are only losing a 7+% performance increase in random memory accesses. Not sure many people are gonna even notice.

If there is an easy way to disable the ramlog service

ramlog is not doing anything extraordinary. I would suspect this trouble will surface up somewhere else. Yeah, we loose some performance, but we get full functionality ... so I hope this gets enabled back soon. We just need to monitor what is going on. Nothing apparent on quick scan of https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/issues
