Are these pointers tagged?  If not, you could compress them further,
getting to 32 GB addressable range.  Or you could keep a base address
and use relative addressing (but it seems that for Hotspot, this was
slower than the scaled-only variant).

On the other hand, I guess the effort required for process separation
is generally worth it.
