I don't know what the original problem is, but for my Cortex-M3 machine
(ie. !MMU) I also have CONFIG_PAGE_OFFSET=0xC0000000. Didn't see this
resulting in any problems although the value looks bogus. (The range
0x90000000-0xdfffffff is reserved on my SoC. Trying to read from there
with the debugger fails with a message "Could not read memory.")

Best regards
Uwe
