+LuaJIT on 64 bit systems provides a <b>limited range</b> of 47 bits for the
+<b>legacy <tt>lightuserdata</tt></b> data type.
+This is only relevant on x64 systems which use the negative part of the
+virtual address space in user mode, e.g. Solaris/x64, and on ARM64 systems
+configured with a 48 bit or 52 bit VA.
+Avoid using <tt>lightuserdata</tt> to hold pointers that may point outside
+of that range, e.g. variables on the stack. In general, avoid this data
+type for new code and replace it with (much more performant) FFI bindings.
+FFI cdata pointers can address the full 64 bit range.
