Never mind that last one, forgot that you'd be wanting to load the
instruction. :-P

But the rlwimi is what's causing the machine checks.  I replaced it with:
rlwinm	r11, r11, 0, 0x3ffff000
rlwimi	r11, r10, 22, 0xffc

and things seem to work.  You could probably replace the rlwinm by
subtracting PAGE_OFFSET from swapper_pg_dir instead.
