Ah, yes, thank you for correcting me. NCBLKS can be 2^16 therefore BMW
can be 8 KB: 

x = 65536
x += 63 => 65599
x /= 64 => 1024
x *= 64 => BMW is 65536 bits
cc_block_mask = BMW/8 = 8192 bytes

This would yield capacity register layout:

cc_capabilities 8
cc_mon_ctl      8
cc_mon_ctr_val  8
cc_alloc_ctl    8
cc_block_mask   8192
cc_cunits       8

Thus I think the mmio size would need to be: (BMW/8) + 40

In the max NCBLKS case, that would be 8,232 bytes. I am wondering if
that a problem as it would not be aligned on a 4 KB page boundary. Do
you think that would be a problem?

Thanks,
Drew
