WFIW, the main reason why people don't want the 2G/2G split is to allow
user space application to grow to 3GB instead of limiting them to 2GB
per task. Most applications are fine with 2GB, but some can run out
of address space and die a little sooner. However, those are typically
the ones that really want a 64 bit machine anyway.
