[opensuse-amd64] distribution of virtual address space

Hello,

I have a question about the distribution of the virtual address space
between 32 and 64 bit apps. This would affect the x86_64 kernel on AMD64
and the newer Intel processors, if I am correct.

Assumed I have about 8 GByte on board and load 64 bit apps first, then
they will go into the first 4 GByte of the virtual address space meaning
that I can't load any 32 bit apps, when only the upper 4 GByte are left
free?


I'm asking on this discussion list, although I think there must be
documentation, but I didn't find anything. Most likely I don't know what
I need to look for exactly.


Regards,

Detlef
