I am working towards porting 2.6.10 kernel on a mips 4kec based board

What is the best way to overcome the "hole" from 0x00000000 to
0x14000000 without incuring a huge memory overhead.
(For exception handling there is 4k of RAM kept at 0x00000000 also - but
I guess linux paging need need not be aware of this small RAM)
You can set PAGE_OFFSET to 0x94000000.  If you do this you're probably
going to run into a few bugs where PAGE_OFFSET is assumed to be KSEG0,
that is 0x80000000.  Nothing dramatic though.
