kernel_size = (uintptr_t) _end - (uintptr_t) _start + 1;

I have been thinking again about our discussion regarding PAGE_OFFSET: 
PAGE_OFFSET actually points to the address where the kernel was loaded, 
not the beginning of memory, that's a bit weird.

Just saying that here, because it took me a few seconds to remember that 
and understand what you were doing here.

Again, I certainly missed something but when do you use old kernel 
mappings ?
