But we do have an even smaller resource of block tlb's that can also
map a maximum of 64 Mb at a time, and which also need to be aligned
to there same size that they map. For this reason it might be worth
considering having a 64 Mb offset rather than a 0 offset and not mapping
the first 64 Kb.

That's fine with me. We can put break instructions in 0x00-0xfc to catch
anyone branching through a null function pointer.
