+/* This MAX_255_COUNT is the maximum number of times we can add 255 to a base
+ * count without overflowing an integer. The multiply will overflow when
+ * multiplying 255 by more than MAXINT/255. The sum will overflow earlier
+ * depending on the base count. Since the base count is taken from a u8
+ * and a few bits, it is safe to assume that it will always be lower than
+ * or equal to 2*255, thus we can always prevent any overflow by accepting
+ * two less 255 steps. See Documentation/lzo.txt for more information.
