We probably should but I just do not see any easy way of doing this. Yet
another "Ignore N bits on the top" memory region type? No idea.
This particular patch was born after discovering GCC 4.8.0 bug with not
doing -0xc000.0000.0000.0000 correctly and this would not be a problem on
the real hardware. So I would think there are kernel somewhere which have
this bug. And there are few (honestly I found only one place and the patch
fixes it) places which can fail because of this GCC bug. So the patch does
make sense for Paul and myself.
btw the patch is wrong, I should do this in a different place, sorry about
that :)
