The reported crash is not likely to be directly related to EXA migration, as that doesn't have any impact on the size of memory mappings.

So while I very much like this patch (I wish this approach had been taken in the first place rather than the whole UXA silliness...), I'm afraid it can only solve the problem indirectly. (Not to mention it won't help people without a kernel memory manager)
