Neat. By the way, I just changed pmap.c to hopefully avoid the tweaking
you have needed for larger memory configurations.

I'm no longer convinced that we should use simple pv_entries for mapping
kernel pages. There are lock recursion issues with the zone allocator - I
think that if we ever run out of pv_entries, we will wedge the allocator.

I might try to pre-allocate pv_entries in a pseudo-page-table kind of way.
I'll have to think about this for a bit.
