Comment (by awson):

 FYI, I've built (slightly patched) GHC HEAD (170118) with
 `USE_LARGE_ADDRESS_SPACE` enabled.

 Now it automatically allocates main heap at 2GB mark (no need to give any
 extra options, since Windows already can't find 1TB or contiguous address
 space starting below 2GB mark) and things work '''perfectly'''.

 Apparently, also there are no problems with `USE_LARGE_ADDRESS_SPACE` on
 W10 1607. Woohoo!
