PAGE_OFFSET > 2^48

Hi
I can see that on x86_64 architechture the PAGE_OFFSET is:
0xffff880000000000
while many today's x86_64 CPUs have got 2^48 virtual address space which is smaller than PAGE_OFFSET.
How is that. I thought that PAGE_OFFSET must have always been smaller than available virtual address space.

thanks for answer

Sorki, mialo byc po polsku (chociaz pewnie dla wiekszosci grupowiczow nie ma roznicy). Przetlumacze na wszelki wypadek:

Widze ze PAGE_OFFSET dla x86_64 w linuxie ma wartosc:
0xffff880000000000
Wiekszosc dzisiejszych processorow 64-bitowych x86 ma wielkosc virtualnej przestrzeni adresowej 2^48 co jest mniejsze niz PAGE_OFFSET.
Jak to jest ze to dziala. Jak na moje to nie moze dzialac, ale pewnie sie myle :-)
dzieki za odpowiedz

Gล‚owy nie dam, ale poczytaj:
