maximum guest memory

[nikiwaibel]

i see that the maximum guest memory is 16gbyte on a recent core-i7/64bit/16core/32gbyte solaris host.
... actually i'd like to assign more to a linux guest.

is this maximum guest memory of 16gbyte a hard limit?
or is it somehow dependend on the host HW configuration?

this means the 16GB is a software only limit. hmmm. i wonder why it has never been changed in the code repository then ...
