Agreed, except that the fixmap enum needs to know
sizeof(cpu_entry_area), and I'm really hesitant to add yet another
header dependency.

My general habit is that I like the != 0 here because I'm doing
arithmetic rather than thinking of % as some kind of logical operator.
I.e. I find it easier to understand the way I wrote it.
