+

+ [Test Case]
+ On an amd64 system w/ > 4G of RAM:
+ $ sudo qemu-system-arm -nographic -M highbank -m 4089 -kernel 
~/vmlinuz-3.2.0-2000-highbank -append console=ttyAMA0 -dtb ~/highbank.dtb
  
- [Test Case]
+ You can use the vmlinuz and highbank.dtb files from the latest linux-
+ image-XXX-highbank package.
  
+ When things work, you'll see kernel boot messages. When they don't, you'll 
get an error:
+ qemu: could not load kernel '/home/ubuntu/vmlinuz-3.2.0-2000-highbank'
  [Regression Potential]
+ The only issue I can see is if a caller was counting on size overflow 
behavior, which seems unlikely.
  
  [Original Report]

  This patch allows QEMU to support emulated systems with > 2G of memory, a 
requirement for supporting the Calxeda "highbank" target.
