Does Android 16 on a Google Pixel 9 or 9 Pro allow a choice between 16Kb and 4KB memory pages?

I have been using a borrowed Pixel 8 Pro with Android 15 for software testing. It can't do all my testing because it only has 128GB of storage, which is *not enough* for all my test data. I've also had to return it to its owner.
It was running a [Google-provided build](https://source.android.com/docs/core/architecture/16kb-page-size/flash-pixel-with-16kb-kernel) of Android 15 that supports booting with [4KB or 16KB](https://developer.android.com/guide/practices/page-sizes) memory pages. This is, unsurprisingly, a switch in Developer Options.
Does Android 16 on a Pixel 9 or 9 Pro offer the same option? I need to buy a Pixel to get Android 16, and it would be very helpful if it could run with 16KB memory pages.
