initially it will likely be limited to 24 bits. but there is no reason
that pags could take advantage of a full 32 bits on linux. since the
pag information wont be stored in groups you wont need to double check
the validity of the pag number you decode.
Well, actually there is still an issue. The reason PAG's are only 24 bits
wide is so that we can use the remaining bits to flag a particular value as
being a PAG ID rather than a UID. Since tokens, fileserver connections,
and cached access rights can be associated with either, they have to belong
to the same namespace. We could fix this, of course, but it will take some
doing.
