I was thinking about the physical vs virtual on i386 as I woke up
today. :) Thanks for confirming! These changes appear to make the
series boot reliably on i386 (pardon any gmail-induced whitespace
damage...):

I will split these chunks up into the correct patches and resend the
series. If you get a chance, can you double-check this?

Thanks!
