Thanks for everyone's input on this, I've moved the kernel virtual
base address to 0xa0000000, and it works fine now.  

I'm still not convinced that this is a future proof solution 
though.  What happens when I get a board with 512MB Flash 1GB SDRAM?
I can push the top of the SDRAM out to the high mem area, but I'll 
have to encroach further into user space to map the Flash.  There's
no good reason that the whole of the Flash need be mapped at the same
time. (Perhaps performance?)

Thanks,

Chris.
