Does it imply using `-s /dev/highmem` argument when accessing addresses beyond 
MAX_LFS_FILESIZE? That's not very convenient:

	$ git grep -l /dev/mem
	commands/crc.c
	commands/digest.c
	commands/disasm.c
	commands/md.c
	commands/memcmp.c
	commands/memcpy.c
	commands/memset.c
	commands/mm.c
	commands/mw.c

Regards,
Peter
