System Information
Operating system: Win10
Graphics card: AMD Radeon R9 280x
System RAM: 32gb

Blender Version
Broken: 3.2.2, branch: master, commit date: 2022-08-02 18:15, hash: bcfdb14560, type: release
(also tested Daily 3.2.2 and beta 3.3)

Worked: 2.8x, 2.9x, 2.9 LTS

Short description of error
Previously tile based rendering was applied when using the bake to texture feature, allowing baking to very large canvases. As of version 3.x tiled rendering no longer applies when baking textures and crashes on large canvases. In my case I can no longer bake to a texture larger than 2^14 (16384x16384).

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

Open attached file or
- From a new blend file, delete default cube,
- switch renderer to Cycles (CPU).
- Create a plane,
- switch to UV and create a very large texture (in my case anything larger than 16384x16384, my previously and still working in 2.9x size is 19310x) with float precision and no alpha.
- Create a new material,
- remove the principled Shader,
- connect the color output of a noise texture to the material output Surface,
- add an Image Texture node and select the previously created canvas. In my case I disable bounces (set all to zero) and set samples to 1, Filtering to Box filtering.
- Switch bake type to Emit.
Hit bake and blender crashes trying to allocate the memory for the render target canvas. Setting Tiled rendering to other sizes does not work either.

Notes:
I'm prebaking complex noise channels as it dramatically reduces render time on the final texture bake.
You may need to create an excessively large target canvas if you have a lot of ram.
When stopping a bake half way through on 2.9x and lower version you can see tile based rendering has taken effect and the sizes declared are used.
When stopping a texture bake on 3.x versions you can see that it is filling the entire canvas at once and not using tile based rendering, no matter what the tile size is set to.

I can confirm the crash. It looks like the allocator doesn't support something with size 16106127360.

I didn't know that Bake took advantage of "tile based rendering", but if that's the case, it makes sense to crash due to high memory usage.
One guess is that the problem was introduced in 0803119725, but i need to check.

Memory was reduced significantly with support for tiled rendering, even if there is more room for optimization. Will reduce priority here since it's not a show stopper anymore.
