well, not knowing for sure whether a serial console was used to capture
this, i'm not sure. i'll assume that this message is bogus, though.

definitely not the lowmem globals. those are part of the kernel text, no
question. as far as the ROM space, that shouldn't be a problem, either,
unless the ROM is bigger than 2MB. (it'd be nice to get confirmation of
this, by the way.) my experience with fixing a problem in pmap_init()
suggests that UVM is less forgiving of pmap-related mistakes.

the only changes here were related to the location of various files. no
code changes were made.
