Yeah, that's the plan. I want the page table allocation code cleaned
up before doing this.
I also want to take a dumber/simpler approach at the expense of some
disadvantage to machines with interleaved NUMA nodes which can't do
1GiB mappings. If this scenario is a real concern, which I'm doubtful
about but then again it could be, we can do the callback walking thing
but I'd at least want to know that that's an actual concern we need to
address.

Here it is.
Thanks.
