.. well, I could just drop the remainder of the code using constants, thus
solving the problem .. :-)

There are a few problems dropping constants like SM_PAGE_SIZE - it could
be done, but it'd make a lot of code more complex. After my next modio
bombing run I'll consider it.

Just out of curiousity, has anyone actually tried bumping up SM_PAGE_SIZE
to say, 64kb, and seeing how that affects performance ?
