This is the largest partial count you can store in the CF flags (0x8000
is used for LAST_IO). The decrement field can handle the full u16
although in practice I would never expect a final block to be more than
a few instructions. We could probably shorten the mask without any
deleterious effect if we needed to scrape together any more CFLAGS.
