:( We've got far too many patches which fall through the cracks like this.

That series was committed more than a year ago - ee21f10d70^..97e34ad22d
- and tbh, I'd forgotten about it.
In light of that, I think I'll just delete the p2m_size references
here. It's easy to prove correctness via inspection, and removes a
dubious construct entirely.
