Yes, I set it 65535 directly to distinguish it from OO_MASK
meaning not value and point to page.objects since they are
u16. Which meant that is the point where all limits start.
So it we set OO_SHIFT to say 14 it will not be a problem
but if we exceed 16 bits it will break SLUB. Am I right?
(I become scratching the head :)
