I remember you told me that the filesystem folks had some interest in a 
64-bit maple tree for a 32-bit kernel as well. Are there any news or 
plans for such a feature?

For the short term I'd probably add a feature flag to the GPUVA manager, 
where drivers explicitly need to promise not to pass in addresses 
exceeding 32-bit on a 32-bit kernel, and if they don't refuse to 
initialize the GPUVA manager on 32-bit kernels - or something similar...
