[Voyage-linux] 64-bit support for 4GB+ RAM

[Kim-man 'Punky' TSE]

Hi all,

Latest voyage kernel should have been configured to support OS more than 
4G memory.  The different is that 32-bit kernel could only allow process 
to run in maxi. 4GB memory space.

With debian live and the latest virtualization technologies, I am able 
to build voyage in 64-bit x86_64 arch.  I will announce some more 
details later.

Regards,
Punky
