Right. At the momement out of 21 bits (16MB) we currently have 2 spare
bits, which reduces the actually size used to 4MB. Though, for the
current cpu model we can reduce it at least to 8MB total.

I will come up with an additional patch setting this to 8MB.

As said before, I also write on a patch to use CMA.

Thanks,

-Robert
