> The contigmem module was using an "int" type for specifying the
> size of blocks of memory to be reserved. A 2GB block was therefore
> overflowing the signed 32-bit value, making 1GB the largest block
> size that could be reserved as a single unit.
> The fix is to change the type used for the buffer/block size to
> an "int64_t" value.
