This is about adding support for the custom-page-sizes Wasm proposal.
The custom-page-sizes Wasm proposal has been recently moved to Phase 3 and is moving forward quickly thus stabilization can be expected to happen soon.
Having custom-page-sizes support in Wasmi will be an enabler (in parts) for using Wasmi in even more embedded environments where memory usage is particularly constrained. Not every embedded environment can afford 64kB worth of linear memory for a single Wasm page.
