While smem_len is u32 (there have been complaints about such
limitations on 64-bit platforms as far as 10 years ago), I see no
reason why a graphics card with more than 4 GiB of RAM would not be
able to provide a very large virtual screen.
Of course e.g. vga16fb cannot, as it is limited to 64 KiB.
Gr{oetje,eeting}s,

when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
