Hi Kieran,

Thank you for the patch.

s/maximum width/maximum input width/

I think you should also explain why we restrict it to 256 pixels (unless I'm 
mistaken the idea is that up to 32 pixels can be used for overlapping 
partitions, so each partition will process up to 256 useful pixels).

Patch 5/6 should also be updated in a similar way to better document the 
rationale.
