There is not any way to express power of 2, so you have to list values.
Rather than just adding 1 more value, I would add at least a few more so
we're not adding these one by one. This is for a specific cache
implementation, so it can't really be *any* power of 2. Designs have
some limits or physics does.

Surely this is not fixed either?
