The warning is correct, on powerpc and 64k pages the array has only 1
item, ie. only index 0 is valid. The overflow won't happen in practice
though because of previous branch that would happen in 100% cases. The
code handles when some bytes cross 2 pages but on 64k pages it's all
just one page.

To allow the warning to be enabled globally we'll fix it, I'll let
Gustavo know once it's done.
