The destination is potencially outside the range of the j instruction.
Which is something that reasonably be expected on other systems as
well.  One scenario for example is having a few k of RAM at phys 0
then the rest starting at 256MB phys.

It's somewhat easier with an ebase register of course but older cores
don't have that.
