With the patch you propose we have totally different behaviour wrt hint address if it below and above 47-bits: * <= 47-bits: allocate VM [addr; addr + len - 1], if free; * > 47-bits: allocate VM anywhere under addr; Sorry, no. That's ugly. If you feel that we need to guarantee that bits above certain limit are unused, introduce new interface. We have enough logic encoded in hint address already. -- Kirill A.
