Did you get the patch I mentioned? It hacks remap_page_range() to
call the 36-bit fixups and handle a u64 phys addr. What "BSP"
are you talking about?  Are you running a stock kernel tree?

Only if the patch is applied.

I don't follow, how does 512MB of memory change things in your
case? The hack does make some assumptions but it works for most
peoples needs.
