That's probably because you're using an amd64 kernel.  You shouldn't have to 
worry about this.

I don't think you need to worry about this, if your system is running an amd64 
kernel.

It's odd that adding the additional 2G will cause this behavior.  I think that 
this could possibly be a bug in the kernel, especially considering that you 
are having problems suspending gart0.  It's possible that this has been fixed 
in a more recent build of the kernel.  Take a look at this:
