Hrm, well, at least for me, it doesn't look to be that simple. I tried
phys_to_virt, page_to_virt, and pfn_to_virt -- but it always fell
over. Is jump_address page aligned? Does the translation happen after
the image page tables have been flushed?
It seems to me like we do actually want to virtual address, so this
should already work without changes -- we want the image's expected
entry point, which has already been read out of the saved image? I
suspect there's some other assumption in the code that isn't jumping
out at me yet.
