I got lost in a maze of pointer arithmetic. There seems to be an 
assumption that nvram writes should be forbidden if in runtime mode but 
with pointers still below the phys/virt split, which obviously makes no 
sense but hey.

But, as always, the only reliable thing to do here is to behave as much 
like Windows as possible. Which means performing the 1:1 mapping but 
maintaining the high mapping, and passing the high values via 
SetVirtualAddressMap.
