The option is not without cost.  It reduces the address space
available to UML processes.  Since the B0000000 split seems to be
Debian-specific, you might add a corresponding Debian-specific patch
to UML which defines the top of the address space to B0000000, rather
than A0000000, which CONFIG_HOST_2G_2G does.
