I seem to get irrationally angry in the presence of 'clumps', 'chunks',
and other non-descriptive variable names in mm code. :)

Anyway, this is only used in one place, but it might be better to call
it:

	CKPT_PAGES_AT_ONCE
or
	CKPT_PGARR_BATCH

Batching up 4 at once doesn't seem that great of a win to me.  Why
bother adding another loop and another variable unless the batch size is
bigger?
