I think this is more generally useful if it's actually a CONFIG option (as it was in the VMI patches) instead of subarch specific. Qemu has had a "fast" patch for a while that pretty much just increases the size of the memory hole and changes ___PAGE_OFFSET to be lower in memory. There are a number of interesting things one can do once there's an adequately sized hole too (assuming you're doing full-virtualization).
