Well, with pointers being distinct entities from an integer representation, I imagine one could spec a Mill processor with 128 bit pointers so you'd have 124 (or 120 to expand the GC bits some) bits of address.
Looking back at the slides[1], it appears that there is virtual memory addressing, but there is only one address space. This allows them to put the TLB behind the cache (slide 52). Not sure if that would change things for The Machine.
