Because we're still in real mode when we call it.

It's kind of funny that it works on 32-bit as well. You're creating a
branch from 0xc0000000 to 0xc2000000, and then expecting it to work when
you're in real mode and you actually want to jump from 0x0 to 0x2000000
- luckily it's a relative branch :)

To clean this up you should just be able to change the definitions for
KDUMP_TRAMPOLINE_START/END to include PAGE_OFFSET and that should work
for 32 & 64-bit.

cheers
