1048576 GFN is 2MB aligned, 1024 pages is also 2MB aligned. There are
512 4k pages in a 2MB huge page, so size of 2 for npages=1024 looks
right to me. One struct for each potential 2MB huge page in the range.
I think overall you are saying in this response that you didn't find
any problem in the analysis or fix. Is that correct?
