The maximum of 15 bits for 32 bit processes was the minimum required to 
pass the Android CTS tests with Nougat using 4k pages, but with 64k 
pages would be on the limit of the virtual address space. For 64 bit 
processes, I just allowed an 3 extra bits of randomness within the 
larger virtual address space, similar to the ARM64 limit.

Thanks,
Matt
