Sorry if I missed this being discussed before.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but on Skylake-SP, maximum physical is 64TB,
meaning we wouldn't be safe beyond 32TB populated. In a system with node
controllers, it seems quite plausible you'd have customers with systems
that are, in fact that large. I've pinged a few folks on our end about
e.g. HPE Superdome and will ask Intel to consider that when notifying.

Jon.
