Q. Why is there a hard limit on this ? Is this a Windows thing or a Linux thing. My only way to work around it would be to "strongly Suggest* mapping addresses to the OS which would be very messy.
It's a Windows thing. Some brain-damaged apps cannot cope with an address space that goes beyond 0xc0000000. A possible work around would be to create an anonymous mmap covering the addresses above 0xc0000000 to make sure nothing gets allocated there later on.
This would be an answer, I'll have a look at this approach.
