36bit addressing - adding more memory

Hi,

 

I am using 8641D and was wondering how to use 36bit addressing in Linux
to add more memory to the system.

 

I hear some Pentium architectures starting from Pentium Pro (PAE mode)
did the exact same thing to support extended memory. How does Linux 2.6
help us take advantage of this?

 

Thanks

Siva
