[what about fixpaks?]

I don't think the 61440 will ever be backed by physical ram.  I think they
are refering to _address space_,  as I was (and this is still not a good
thing,  chewing up your 512mb address space,  but it is not nearly as bad
has wasting physical memroy).

I wonder why they made the change?
