I don't think that this gpu memory is mapped into the linear memory
space. Such a GPU will typically have a PCI memory resource BAR that is
(only) 256M large (could be 512M or more these days).

It depends a bit on how things are configured but with a fairly common
2G mmio space below 4G I think it is unlikely for 2 external GPU's to be
an issue.

It would of course be nice to have 64bit BAR support but that would
require substantial changes in the allocator and more importantly a lot
of time spend in a sane and thoughtful design...
