Just to clarify... 32MB would never ever be reached. The S/G table
limit means requests are limited to 8MB. VM thresholds and user
application use further limit request size.
I think Andrew's point is actually more relevant than examining the size
of a single request:

Thus like the "1,000 disks" example, memory management needs to make
sure that an "unreasonable" amount of memory is not being pinned.
