On that topic - yes, we have this on our radar, but in our case we;re
talking about patching (in head.S) and then repatching (at switch over).

One of the ideas we've been bouncing around has been to convert the
phys-virt patch code into arithmetic on PFNs. This way we don't have to
get too messy with 64-bit in the patch code, and we can use the same
patch code for both phys_to_virt and virt_to_phys. Thoughts on this
approach?
