No, we have only arm and x86 so far. Either try to do the same thing on
Power that has been on ARM & x86.
A workaround would be to adjust lowmem, virtual base and user stack.
That means your userland wouldn't have 3GiB virtual address space but
the kernel could access 2GiB.
Something like
CONFIG_PAGE_OFFSET=0x40000000
CONFIG_KERNEL_START=0x40000000
CONFIG_TASK_SIZE=0x40000000
should work.
