Minor correction for section 7.5 (KVM Memory Mapping)?

Reading through this section, I think I've noticed a minor mistake:

Unlike Linux, FreeBSD does not map all of physical memory into KVM. This means that FreeBSD can handle memory configurations up to 4G on 32 bit platforms. In fact, if the mmu were capable of it, FreeBSD could theoretically handle memory configurations up to 8TB on a 32 bit platform. However, since most 32 bit platforms are only capable of mapping 4GB of ram, this is a moot point.

Shouldn't the "up to" in the second sentence be "greater than"? Using "up to" seems to contradict the rest of the paragraph..
