Oh yes, that would make more sense. I was under the impression that the
runtime drivers were built as position independent executables (I don't
know why I thought that). Whoops!

OK, I've got more kernel work to do then. Looks like we have to first
call SetVirtualAddressMap() and *then* apply the more restrictive page
table permissions.

I wonder whether this will have a noticeable effect on boot time.
