With this patch applied the machine boots OK :-)

Ah... so, the problem really is too high address.  If you've got some
time, it might be interesting to find out how far high is safe.

Might give me a clue about what the problem is but I think I'll just
cook up a test case that forcibly vmap something high up and see how it
goes from there. It could be a very old bug that nobody ever noticed
because our vmalloc space on 64-bit is so huge :-)

Cheers,
Ben.
