My first thought was to just set the gather to start=0,end=ULONG_MAX
but it turned out to be trivial to just set the right gather parameters
and it looks like it is basically the same cost..
Adding a flag would mean we have to test the flag on the other case
where we don't use this flow, which doesn't seem good either.
