I was just being lazy with the mmu_set_range_sect() function, because,
while that's currently part of the MMU API, it's actually only used in
one place, setup_mmu(), which does mmu_enable() after its call anyway.

So, in short, the mmu_set_range_sect() hunk is correct, but not optimal,
and it doesn't really matter :-)
