Hi Avri,

Thanks for adding HCM support on HPB.
I have some opinion for this patch.

Rather than fixing it with macro, how about using sysfs and make it
configurable?

If the chunk size is not supported, we can not active this region
permanently. It may be returned before get this statement.

I think 32 bits are suitable, because it is normalized by worker on every
specific time.
