Hi Avri
ah, I don't know if your above comments are inline with Spec.

Spec:
"A HPB Region is divided into HPB Sub-Regions. HPB Sub-Region size is
specified by the bHPBSubRegionSize parameter of Geometry Descriptor.
HPB Sub-Regions are equally sized except for the last one which is
smaller if the last HPB Region is not an interger multiple of
bHPBSubRegionSize."

It is not invalidate ppn concern, it is illegal request issue in sense
key.

Kind regards,
