// maxPtrmaskBytes is the maximum length of a GC ptrmask bitmap,
// which holds 1-bit entries describing where pointers are in a given type.
-// 16 bytes is enough to describe 128 pointer-sized words, 512 or 1024 bytes
-// depending on the system. Above this length, the GC information is
-// recorded as a GC program, which can express repetition compactly.
-// In either form, the information is used by the runtime to initialize the
-// heap bitmap, and for large types (like 128 or more words), they are
-// roughly the same speed. GC programs are never much larger and often
-// more compact. (If large arrays are involved, they can be arbitrarily more
-// compact.)
