Hmm, in both 2.6.9-bs7 and 2.6.11 the limit is at least 768M, and it extends 
to more than 2G with static linking and without TT mode. This is all without 
HIGHMEM support.

Retest also with 2.6.11, it feels a better tree than 2.6.9-bs7.

What's the problem anyway?

Probably not interesting for you, it's just a disadvantage for UML, the option 
was just to cope with that situation (which is completely UML-independent). 
That gives faster access to upto 2G of physical RAM, by reducing the virtual 
address space for apps to only 2G rather than 3G.

That depends on ! CONFIG_CLEAN_COMPILE, so its disappears unless you disable 
CONFIG_CLEAN_COMPILE... it should compile well in 2.6.11, I don't remember 
for 2.6.9-bs7.
