Some issues with this...

I think this causes some structures to change size.  This means modules
without bigmem support may not work on bigmem kernels.  Also, for
machines without lots of memory, this is totally unnecessary.

This was part of a discussion on l-k recently.  In order for modules to
be binary compatible with a kernel, you must have module version for

        2G
        2G-SMP
        4G
        4G-SMP

etc.
