Hi Bertrand,

Have a look at glue/v4-x86/x64/config.h
/**
 * Valid Part of the Global Thread ID 
 */
#define VALID_THREADNO_BITS	(18)

We didn't see a reason to increase the number of valid bits beyond 18 bits. As virtual addresses are not really a scarce resource on x64, you may be able to increase the value according to your demands.

Best,
-Jan
