It should be possible to increase the limit - it was set arbitrarily
knowing that the process address space mapping limited the maximum size
of mappings. With some small hacks it could be possible to reach about
2.5 GB of emulated RAM with a standard host Linux kernel.
The architectural limit of simulated RAM in QEMU is of 4 GB, even with a
64 bit CPU.
