Based on my glance, if the multiplier fits in 32 bits then it should work. But the problem here pointed out by Tvrtko is that we are adding awful lot(262 mb per fb) of padding in the gurad pages clobbering up the ggtt address pace. Enough(10 to 20) fb's created we will fall into the realm of evictions.
