With these settings, the multiplication in ASM_VSID_SCRAMBLE could
overflow, leading to incorrect results (which would cause occasional
corruption of user processes under heavy load).  You will need to
reduce the multiplier to be less than 2^26, and it will need to be
co-prime with 2^38 - 1.  (Probably, the same value as we use in the 1T
case would be OK.)
