 Of the 256 page datasets, one is PLPA, one is Common, and one is the
now-defunct Common Duplex.  That leaves a maximum of 253 local page 
data sets.  The current maximum size of a page data set is 4GB, making 
the maximum local paging space 253 * 4GB, which is a little less than 
1TB (and considerably less than 4TB).
