if you select 4g for chunk size, we don't need to convert that from continuous to discrete to make X server driver happen.
actually the code could support any chunk_size...
for example: 16 g system orginal: 0-4g WB 3.5g-4g UC 4g-8g WB 8g-16g WB 16g-16.5g WB
if you set chunk size to 16g, and gran size <= 512M you will get 0-16g WB 3.5g-4g UC 16g-16.5g WB
