You cannot use pointers from the firmware directly in mixed mode
because the kernel is compiled for 64-bits but the firmware is using
32-bit addresses, so dereferencing a pointer causes a 64-bit load.
That's the reason we deconstruct the tables and copy the addresses
from the last level - so we don't have to jump through multiple
pointers.
