We know that architecturally it's defined to be 16MB. However, we also know from the chip architects that the greatest stride ever done or planned was 4MB, which is why we use it. HPUX does the same, so there's not much point issuing a warning, because it's likely that IODC isn't setting up the values correctly and there's nothing a warning will achieve except worrying the users if they bother to read it.
