That's because you're spilling over into the managed KVM region at
KERNEL_VM_BASE (0xc1000000). Really, with the current pmap there is very
little you can do to fix this.

If you read current-users@ or port-arm@, you will see that I plan to
commit changes soon which will completely fix this limitation of the
current arm32 pmap. (It will require some work in your initarm() function,
however).

Cheers, Steve
