Hmm.

On my system, GTT is 4096MiB (1048576 pages). For this, the table takes up
1048576*8 bytes = 8MiB. Reducing GTT to 256MiB (65536 pages) would reduce the
size of the table to 512 KiB. A relatively large saving, to be sure. But in the
grander scheme of things, is saving 7.5MiB (3% of visible VRAM @ 256M) worth
cutting GTT memory by a factor of 16?
