Re: sysmaster in 9.4

This is because we had to change the physical address format to support > 2GB. The pre-9.4 page address was a 32-bit integer composed of cccppppp where ccc was a 12-bit chunk number and ppppp was a 20-bit page number. This was the reason that a chunk could have only 0x7ffff pages in a chunk and only 0x7ff chunks. In 9.4, the old pageaddress has been split into two integers. The chunk number is contained in one integer while the page offset is contained in another. This allows us to have up to 2G pages within a chunk. The old page address is now contained in the chunk + offset fields.
