So, the kernel runs fine, until it starts executing userspace.  Here's
what we _think_ is going on:

The kernel has its own mappings for pages so it can take advantage of
16MB pages.  These are not coherent with the pages that are mapped into
user space.  By (ab)using the kmap() functionality, this problem can be
solved and may even result in a performance increase for all machines.
No real time to work on this...
