And actually, it's 100% impossible to do a transfer larger than 2^32 on
PCI Express due to the protocol requiring that a transfer not cross a
4GB boundary.

You could still have a device that you program with > 2^32 and it'll take care of the segment issues.

So, I think that we are pretty safe with this typedef for
the next 5-10 years.

Nope. I give it 3 years max.

 Of course, I'll be honored when Linus calls me a
moron for this 7 years from now =-)
