[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 11/17] linux-user: reserve 4GB of vmem for 32-on-64

[riku . voipio]

From: Alexander Graf <address@hidden>

When running 32-on-64 bit guests, we should always reserve as much
virtual memory as we possibly can for the guest process, so it can
never overlap with QEMU address space.

Fortunately we already have the infrastructure for that. All that's
missing is some sane default value to also make use of it!
