i believe the 32-bit line is traditionally considered 2G.  from the
comments in afs, i would have guessed you were concerned about a
4G boundary:

src/afs/afs_dcache.c:afs_size_t afs_vmMappingEnd;       /* for large files (>= 2GB) the VM
src/afs/afs_init.c:    afs_vmMappingEnd = AFS_CHUNKBASE(0x7fffffff);

i will have to test this.  is it broken in the linux kernel fs
driver or in afs?
