Keeping a user from writing to low pages can help reduce the impact of kernel NULL pointer bugs. - For most ppc64 and x86 users with lots of address space + For most arm64, ppc64 and x86 users with lots of address space a value of 65536 is reasonable and should cause no problems. On arm and other archs it should not be higher than 32768. Programs which use vm86 functionality or have some need to map
Currently ppc64 and x86 are mentioned as architectures where a 65536 value is reasonable but arm64 isn't listed and it is also a 64-bit architecture. The help text says that for "arm" the value should be no higher than 32768 but it's only talking about 32-bit ARM. Adding arm64 to the above list can make this more clear and avoid confusing users who may think that the 32k limit would also apply to 64-bit ARM.
