Are you still working on this patch? If yes, please update it according
to the agent review, before sending a v2. Also, in LTP we have TST_KB,
TST_MB, TST_GB, so you can avoid using `1024 * 1024 ..` format.

Please rebase to master and send a new version, I will move this patch
into Changes Requested before proceeding to the proper review.
