The press releases make much of the 40 bit virtual addresses.
Does anyone have technical info on what, if any, good it is to have
a 40 bit virtual address in a 32 bit machine?  I presume they tack
on a "segment" prefix of some sort to your 32 bit address value,
but this is supposition from hints in the press release.
