For the particular case of the init_task, we could just fix it up
at boot time (as suggested by the earlier patch).

My bigger worry is that this will be an issue _whenever_ somebody
initializes a linked list with a static initializer.  There needs to
be a way to protect from this happening accidentially.  Without that,
I'm not sure the virtual remapping is really viable.
