No, npages is the size of the allocation coming from the driver, that
won't chance. The table blocksize just says how wide the cacheline size
is, i.e. how far it should advance between allocations.

This is a patch that should probably have been added a while ago, to
give a bit more info. Can you apply it and give it a go?


Thanks,

Olof
