[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 8/9] linux-user: Default to 64k guest base

[Alexander Graf]

Most kernels these days have protection code in place to forbid user space
to access low memory. The barrier varies between architectures though.

For this purpose we have the guest base option that allows us to offset
guest visible memory from host memory, so that the guest process thinks
it can access lower memory than it really can access.

Set the default for the guest base to 64k which should be good enough on
any host system.

This fixes running i386 wine on ARM for me.
