Done some more checks and found the bug: the virtual address i used was 
mis-aligned  (missing a 0x in .align directive :)).
How does update_va_mapping() should normally behave when given a non 
paged-aligned virtual address? From the code, i guess it just remap the 
page containing the given address (discarding the lower 12 bits). Is 
this intended?
