Yes, it only required V=P mappings and skipping over the cli & segment reloads. It's becoming pretty clear that booting with V=P mappings is in fact the right thing to do, so I don't think that's a real restriction. And we've discussed the cli and segment reloads already. I understand the desire to restart from scratch, but I don't think we're there yet....
