I've found the problem with big kernels.  The problem is that the
"PSE" code assumes that a kernel text+data+bss+symbols+misc data will
always fit in one 4MB "super-page".

This is obviously not always the case.

To reproduce just compile a kernel with COPTFLAGS set to "-a -g" and you 
will see it (if your cpu supports PSE that is).

Any chance you can fix this John ?
