Why the space of 0x04c000000000? ;-)
There's also 0xc007dedadada (although this address isn't used on the PC
side). Maybe we should just round down to 0x800000000000 and revisit
the question when there are 256 TB memory machines. (Directly accessing
the full 256 TB will not be possible in any case.)

Clemens
