That could work, I need to test that though.

In theory yes, I think you will have a very hard time finding a system using
0 or ~0(which is odd too).
If that is still a concern one could make the address configurable.
I think this feature would be really nice to have because it adapts
dynamically without the user having to know about mem regions.
