  Log:
  Kill the 4MB kernel limit dead.  [I hope :-)].
  For UP, we were using $tmp_stk as a stack from the data section.  If the
  kernel text section grew beyond ~3MB, the data section would be pushed
  beyond the temporary 4MB P==V mapping.  This would cause the trampoline
  up to high memory to fault.  The hack workaround I did was to use all of
  the page table pages that we already have while preparing the initial
  P==V mapping, instead of just the first one.
  For SMP, the AP bootstrap process suffered the same sort of problem and
  got the same treatment.
  
  MFC candidate - this breaks on 4.x just the same..
