Minor nit: I would suggest to simply remove this comment, which might
be a bit confusing without the content (that 512 would let vhost-switch

Otherwise, this patch looks good to me.

Thanks and sure, you can always keep one's ACK if you just need fix
some minor nits when he has already given the ack.
