Forgot to comment about the i386 issue - that really is a blocker if you
absolutely need to support large trace buffers on 32-bit machines. I
would urge all those people to move to x86_64 and be done with it, but I
don't know all the use cases.
It's possible to hack this to work by having a private mm_struct and
switching to it temporarily, but it will be horribly slow.
