E.g. before we boot the M3, we first configure its MMU (otherwise
every memory access it will do will fail).

AFAIK the M3 can't configure its own MMU, but even if it could, you
have a catch 22 here as it can't even access its very first
instruction without first having its MMU configured correctly to point
at it ;)
