:- vkernel occasionally fails to find the root fs, and in particular,
:  if I start it with MALLOC_OPTIONS=AJ and it always panics right after
:  printing the copyright messages:
:
:    panic: pmap_zero_page: CMAP3 busy
:    Trace beginning at frame 0xbfbff850

    The low boot code was loading the virtual kernel's page table(s) and
    globaldata / private data space with all zero's using a malloc()'d
    buffer that it has failed to bzero().

    Fixed!
