Support Loading the Virtual Table maps above the bar

The module that handles the creation of virtual tables in DVM has 31-bit addressing. As a consequence, this module allocates its' memory below the bar of 2G. Especially when creating very large virtual tables, this can cause DVM running out of mem...
