I'm not sure if this will work correctly. Please keep in mind that even 
if BOs can be in the second segment they are not allowed to cross 
segment borders.

E.g. if you just set lpfn = (2 * 256 * 1024 * 1024) >> PAGE_SHIFT it 
might happen that the first halve of a BO lands in the first 256MB 
segment and the second halve of a BO in the second 256MB segment.

Have you considered that as well?

Regards,
Christian.
