I tried v4 and it still doesn't work for me over 64M (without increasing
the start of memory).  I pulled the following out of the log buffer when
booting at 0x5000000 (after cleaning up the binary goo -- is that
something new?):

I'm having a hard time following the logic here.  What is PAGE_OFFSET -
offset supposed to be?  Why would we map anything belowe PAGE_OFFSET?
