Thanks for the explanation. I didn't realize that the code only applies
to i386. I'm not trying to implement CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC currently,
but I'll put it on my list of things to do. Do I need to do anything
beyond adding a working kernel_map_pages() and raising the 128 byte limit
in kmem_cache_create to max(128,L1_CACHE_BYTES)?
