yes,  actually the top two bits are used in MIPS as segment bits.

you are confusing virtual addresses with physcial addresses. There
are even 32bit CPU, which could address more than 4GB physical

Ah, your right. thanks. "but it's not necessar*il*y a good idea". That is to say, we don't put memory above 2 GiB. No need to make the mem_section[] array bigger than need be.

This gives further credence for it to be a configurable in Kconfig as well.
