Hum... We lose a usefull 2G/2G split. Should'nt we use a patch to change 
PAGE_OFFSET to 0x8000000 instead of 0x78000000 and keep 2G/2G split ?
Maybe the following patch is better ?

[PATCH] i386 : Adjust CONFIG_PAGE_OFFSET in case of 2G/2G split and X86_PAE

When in PAE mode we require that the user kernel divide to be
on a 1G boundary.  We must therefore make sure PAGE_OFFSET is correctlty 
defined in the 2G/2G split and PAE mode.
