Why do we need to be able to directly access physical addresses?

#includes go at the top of the file.

Hardcoding TLB1 makes this FSL-specific code, but you've put it in a
non-FSL-specific place.

What if the machine has less than 1 GiB of RAM? We could get
speculative accesses to non-present addresses.

Though it looks like the normal 64-bit init sequence has the same
problem...
