I confess again to knowing very little about how the kernel handles
memory...but....

Is it not true that at boot certain parts of the Firmware are expected to
be at 000xxxxx but on Macs remain at FFFxxxxx?  If so, along with setting
MSR[IP], is there anything stopping us from immediately just copying that
memory to its new location before using it?

Idle thoughts....

Dan
