Firmware uses 32-bit field for region size while copying/backing-up
Which firmware exactly is imposing that limit?
I think the MDST/MDRT tables in the f/w. Vasant, which component is that?

"currently" implies it could change in future?

If it does we assume it will only increase, and we're happy that old
kernels will continue to use the 32-bit limit?
I am not aware of any plans to make it 64-bit. Let me just say f/w supports
only 32-bit to get rid of that ambiguity..
