Subject:   Minor correction for section 7.5 (KVM Memory Mapping)?

Reading through this section, I think I've noticed a minor mistake:

Unlike Linux, FreeBSD does not map all of physical memory into KVM. This me=
ans that FreeBSD can handle memory configurations up to 4G on 32 bit platfo=
rms. In fact, if the mmu were capable of it, FreeBSD could theoretically ha=
ndle memory configurations up to 8TB on a 32 bit platform. However, since m=
ost 32 bit platforms are only capable of mapping 4GB of ram, this is a moot=
 point.

Shouldn't the "up to" in the second sentence be "greater than"? Using "up t=
o" seems to contradict the rest of the paragraph..
