Thanks for the heads-up! I think the declance hack should go away. It
should have gone long ago, but ISTR there used to be a problem with making
such a large contiguous physical memory allocation in the modular case.
Maybe it's not anymore these days. I'll look into it when I get a chance
to poke at hardware, which I have no access to at the moment.
