    On a 16TB system (using AMS/CMO), I get:
    
    WARNING: ignoring large property [/ibm,dynamic-reconfiguration-memory] ibm,dynamic-memory length 0x000000000017ffec
    
    and significantly less memory is thus shown to the partition. As far as
    I can tell, the constant used is arbitrary. Ben Herrenschmidt provided
    additional background that
    
    > The limit was originally set because of Apple machines carrying ROM
    > images in the device-tree, at a time where we were much more memory
    > constrained than we are now.
    
    and that it is likely not very useful any longer.
