If Vista is absolutely known to *always* use the 64-bit addresses under
every single circumstance where they're present, then yes, I agree that
this is probably the least bad situation. This is trivial to test -
install Vista on an R40e and see if it hangs on boot. If it does, I
withdraw my objection. If not, then we're not fixing it properly.
