Jump to 0xC000????  Yup.  Fault?  No.

Basically, the kernel boot process should be doing this *for* you.

Part of the kernel boot process is to set up a memory mapping from
virtual C0000000 to physical 00000000, and then enable address translation.
This is done in arch/ppc/kernel/head.S using the BAT registers.

I doubt it.  It shouldn't be necessary, tho.
