while debugging i found out that it will allocate up to 800 kb here on 
99xx chipsets. truncating  this value in any way will definitly cause 
out of bound access conditions.
so i assume the code is wrong. the firmware requests the size, so it 
should get it. otherwise unexpected behaviour is guaranteed
