There is a 48-bit virtual address space on the i386+ cpus.  Even if
there aren't pins labled a32->a47, I suspect there is some way to get
those addresses out of the chip.

Failing that, you could use an expanded memory type of scheme, and
theoretically add as much memory as you want.  But that might be
considered cheating...
