Subject: Using Gmail for kernel development Considered Harmful

Don't use gmail addresses for your kernel development.  You'll
randomly lose email because gmail thinks it knows better and gives
no way to say "you're wrong".

... and xa_limit is inclusive at the top end to be sure that we can
actually allocate 2^32-1.  Or does Range handle that by using 0 to mean
that 2^32-1 is allowed?
