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....
