Honestly, I would need some guidance on how to progress. I could just
change from U32_MAX to INT_MAX, but as I stated earlier (lore-link
above), that has a hacky feeling to it. Andrew's mail didn't really
land in a consensus. From my perspective, the code isn't broken, with
the memcg limits in consideration. Introducing a LARGE flag or a new
"_yes_this_can_be_huge_but_it_is_ok()" version would make sense if
this problem is applicable to more users in the kernel.

So, thoughts? ;-)
