Because we lock the kernel image into the TLB, we use
4MB TLB entries (the largest UltraSPARC currently supports)
and locking 2 entries is what we limit things to.
Use modules dude. Also, strip all debugging information
and unnecessary symbol table entries from your kernel
as well. "make image" helps with this, use the
arch/sparc64/boot/image file that rule creates not
the top-level vmlinux file.
