Anyone want to speculate on Haswell-E/LGA 2011-3 memory support?

I'm already aware that Haswell-E will support DDR4, but I'm curious whether or not LGA 2011-3 will offer support for more than 64GB of RAM. I don't know whether this would be limited by the LGA 2011-3's DDR4 memory controller or by the X99 chipset or both. Just thought I'd see if some of you more informed members would be willing to speculate.
 
Solution
Looking like X99 will support up to 128GB for DDR4, some manufacturers are already making the 32GB sticks, 16GB have been in production for a bit now

I don't think 32GB sticks would be required, assuming that the x99 boards have 8 slots? You should only need 8x16GB.

but not all x99 board will be full sized some will have 4 slots I'm sure

and it will be pretty sweet to have a 2 slot micro board and still have 64gb on the consumer side :p
