Ok, if that works, the thing to do is:

1) Calculate "SUN4C_SEGMAP_ROUND_UP(&_end - KERNBASE)"

   Make this calculation a macro.

2) Use that instead of the 3MB constant in the sun4/sun4c remapping
   loops of head_32.S

I'd be happy to apply this if it can get at least a minimal smoke
test by someone.
