Yes, it should be 256. Some time ago there was talk of building 8-node
x3950M2s with PCI domain support, but the final word now is that nobody will
ever have more than 4 nodes. The BUG_ON can be dropped, too. I'll send a
patch shortly that incorporates both updates.

(Honestly I sort of wonder if the Calgary code should be removed entirely,
but that's a whole different battle....)
