    Yes, those are 64bit platforms. At least I hope it works well on
    sparc64, nobody confirmed it yet (somebody tried it with 2.5GB RAM
    though). sparc64 should support up to 1TB physical RAM, but most
    of the boxes won't allow you to put that much memory in, AFAIK it
    is something around 64GB or so at most one can put in at the
    moment.

    Right.

    In fact, even sparc32, although PAGE_OFFSET is there 0xf0000000,
    should support up to 2GB memory...

    Right on sun4m, and you can get away with around 3.5GB on sun4d.
    The sun4m limitation is due to the IOMMU, the sun4d case is just a
    matter of running out of kernel + user address space. In these
    sparc32 cases the PAGE_OFFSET is set dynamically at boot time based
    upon how much memory is in the machine.
