I struggled a few times with the stray interrupt until I figured out
what was going on.

My naive view was that anything beyond (4MB - boot loader size) for
the kernel was going to require some major changes since there was an
assumption in the loader that the DMA/scatter gather mapping was one
for one with kernel memory. For the uVax qbus machines i think the
mapping is limited to 4MB.  I will be interested in reviewing your
solution.
