It is caused by the VMSPLIT kernel option having an incorrect value.

The configuration options should be as below.

$ zcat /proc/config.gz |grep VMSPLIT
CONFIG_VMSPLIT_3G=y
# CONFIG_VMSPLIT_3G_OPT is not set
# CONFIG_VMSPLIT_2G is not set
# CONFIG_VMSPLIT_2G_OPT is not set
# CONFIG_VMSPLIT_1G is not set

If you have compiled your kernel yourself, recompile it with the
options as above. If your kernel came from your distro, their forums
are probably the best place to enquire about a kernel with the right
settings.

From menuconfig (for x86), the options can be found from "General
setup" > "Processor type and features" > "Memory split". The option
that you want for Wine is "3G/1G user/kernel split"

make menuconfig

is used when you build your own kernel. I think you should ask your
distribution for a kernel with this "3G/1G user/kernel split".
