as I've said earlier. There are many code paths which are quite
confusing and they expect sub-section granularity while they in fact
won't work with sub memblock granularity. This is a larger project
I am afraid and it would be great if you are willing to try to
consolidate that code. I have that on my todo list but there are more
pressing things to address first for me now.
