i915 has 16kx8k hard limit currently, and we reject vscan>1
(wish we could also reject DBLSCAN). So we should not hit
that, at least not yet. Other drivers might not be so strict
I guess.

I have a nagging feeling that other places are in danger of
overflows if we try to push the current limits significantly.
But I guess no real harm in going full 64bit here, except
maybe making it a bit slower.
