The intent of the patch is to move the guest virtual address space to a void
conflicts with the host VM. For a 32-bit guest n a 64-bit host it makes a lot
of sense to pick a completely unused 4G region (and probably even reserve it
so the host doesn't start using it), which is almost certainly going to be at
a high address.
