Does that mean I should pull stuff out of GENERIC until it can
fit into the 1MB region?  Or somehow add support for booting
kernels that use more than 1MB for the initial load?

Note that Sun3 PROMs do not promise to make more than 1MB of
contiguous memory available, so supporting larger kernels will
require significant work in the boot programs and the kernel.
The rule: KVA = PA + KERNBASE would no longer be true in all
memory initially mapped for the kernel.  Messy...

I still favor the LKM solution.
