... although maybe it *would* be interesting to hear what happens if
you just compile a 64-bit kernel instead?

Do you still see the problem? Because if not, then we should look very
specifically for some 32-bit PAE issue.

For example, maybe we use "unsigned long" somewhere where we should
use "phys_addr_t". On x86-64, they obviously end up being the same. On
normal non-PAE x86-32, they are also the same. But ..
