Well, some people may have 64-bit-clean as their goal, but I'm
limiting my horizon to 41- or 42-bit-clean (32-bit block numbers, 512
byte or 1K blocks).
It seems to me that 2048G or 4096G is enough for now, and if I try
to go bigger, then the "struct page" has to get bigger, and that's
a performance hit.
Or am I guilty of chasing a false economy?
