Yes -- the recent increase in the vmalloc region triggered a bigger
truncation in the system RAM than we had before, and therefore
conflicted with the previous hardcoded region we were using.

Long term, our plan is to get rid of those hardcoded values, but for
the moment our remote RTOS still needs to know the physical address in
advance.

Thanks. With that hunk squashed in, feel free to add my Tested-by tag
to the patches.

Thanks!
Ohad.
