With the expanded support for placing the kernel in XPHYS rather than just KSEG0, scenarios where ebase doesn't belong to KSEG0 are more likely to occur. In such cases, we currently experience a substantial and perplexing stack dump without any accompanying explanation. To rectify this, we aim to replace the uninformative stack dump with a warning that offers a clear explanation of the issue.
