Thanks, that is just an artifact from rebasing and should be removed.

We should use 32 bit values for the number of pages in TTM, even signed 
values allow for 8TB large BOs.

And I really hope that we can get rid of the BO approach in general 
before we ever come close to that limit.

I should probably add a check for that in the tt code, yes.

Indeed that's a mix up. Thanks for pointing that out.

Christian.
