After checking the log:
[ 1144.690405] done (allocated 6590003 pages)
[ 1144.694971] PM: Allocated 26360012 kbytes in 19.89 seconds (1325.28 MB/s)

The default NMI timeout is 10 seconds AFAIK, in case the user might modify it to
1 second, a safe interval page could be 6590003/20 = 320k pages, but there
might be other machines running in a lower freq, 100k should be more robust.
I'll change it to 100k.

Ok, will delete this.
