ah - this crash gets fixed by the "x86: make max_pfn cover acpi table
below 4g" RFC fix you posted in the other thread.

So the overmapping change made the problem more prominent. (But the
problem was pre-existing with certain memory layouts - as witnessed by
the other thread.)

I've flipped around these two commits to help bisection.
