Okay, this should fix it - *untested* though because of the fscking time
it is here again. The problem is that install_special_mapping() assumes
that the pointer to the pages will be persistent, and it wasn't. I found
that during testing and thought I'd merged the patches in, but I seem to
have totally destroyed the original fixes for this.
