Its singular here.. but in the example its plurar. What if you use
multiple of the same number ("16 0xf")?

So two grant tables?

Hm, physical address is zero, and the size is 0xbignumber?
Or is the '0' denotating a seperator of arguments, so it is
0xb000.. for physical address and 0x20000 for size?
