Why?  That's pretty much what the bootwrapper does.  Our hypervisor has
directly booted vmlinux this way.

Note that in recent kernels physaddr is even set to zero, allowing the
ELF loader to just use that instead of magically knowing the kernel
wants to go at address zero.

That mapping is set up by code at the entry point of vmlinux, not by
the bootwrapper.
