I must admit I don't understand it either. One consequence is that the kernel no
longer boots using the hpux ipl command without running som_relocate on the kernel.
This messes up the object file so debuggers will have to be specially modified for
this configuration. It also means that virtual and physical addresses are different
for most of the kernel. I think it was done to simplify the syscall interface.
However, maybe instead of different real and virtual code, the kernel should have
different syscall and real-virtual code. I am not an expert but I think this is how
it is done with hpux. It is linked at ~0 (0x11000 for 10.20).
