It's been some time since I wrote this, but I thought PAGE_OFFSET was
where the kernel text *started*? So unless the text itself is bigger
than 2G - 128 M, in which case we're SOL anyway, it seems like this
should work. Is there something better we can do, without a large memory
model?

Thanks,
Shea
