Actually NetBSD has (or at least used to) use their ability to have
separate page free lists to only ever allocate pvo entries from them low
256MB of RAM.  At least that's how I read it.  This meant that only
direct-mapping the low 256MB worked fine as that's where all the pvo
entries were.

Thanks for coming up with a solution for this. =)
