Hmm, a question: Why do we need to preemptively break up pages?
Doesn't normal remapping do that already? My understanding was
that we only did it here to allow remapping while executing from
it, but in the PBL ELF loader we are not executing from there,
so there should not be an issue.

Thanks,
Ahmad
