If you read the comments on unmap_area_sections, you'd understand why
this is.

Yes, so changing that line results in 'end' being the correct 0x1000000
bytes greater than 'virt', as can be seen from the above.  Before this
change, end would've been 0xd3001000 which is incorrect.

Now, if there's something else wrong, please be more expansive about it.
Please given an exact description of the failure you're seeing.  (I'm
not going to be able to try your test program for several days.)
