Hm. I don't think this correct. -1 means the application supports any address, not restricted to 47-bit address space. It doesn't mean the application *require* the address to be above 47-bit. At least on x86, -1 just shift upper boundary of address range where we can look for unmapped area. -- Kirill A. Shutemov
