I don't object to this as such (although one comment), but what is the
purpose of this change?
My comment is that most other platforms use AllocatePages for this. So
this is diverging from the norm. Secondly, while I don't necessarily
*like* the current design (copied across most ARM platforms), it's
somewhat mitigated by the AllocatePages giving you a minimum of 128
entries before you start overwriting things. I don't know what you'll
overwrite if you do go too far, but you will overwrite it *before* the
ASSERT ever gets evaluated.
