variant of global failure of GCH

The following is known (see e.g., [1]): Modulo large cardinals it is consistent that $2^\lambda>\lambda^+$ for all $\lambda$. (Furthermore, it seems that the gap can be always infinite?)

Question: Is it consistent that $2^\lambda=2^{\lambda^+}$ for all $\lambda$? (Which obviously implies infinite gap.)

Remark: For just the regulars this can be done for free by Easton, e.g. setting $2^{\aleph_\alpha}=\aleph_{\alpha+\omega+1}$.
