How about we reinstate the limit on i386, but increase it to 64 MB?
That would increase the theoretical maximum to ~15 GB.  People with 8 GB
swap would get a warning, but would be unlikely to run into trouble.

(or we could increase the limit to 72351744 bytes, which is the precise
amount required to support 16 GB)
