Re: [PATCH ] VMSPLIT config options (with default config fixed)

What userspace programs do depend on it?

That *is* the question, isn't it.
We simply don't know, other than that this is
a visible change to any program that cares.

Gratuitis breakage of userspace is pointless.

Empirically speaking, everything I use is working fine
here with the 2G/2G split, but that's just not good enough
reason to mindlessly break other people's userspace.
