I'd rather remove flatview_simplify altogether, it probably triggers
relatively rarely.  Possibly do not let it operate on RAM/ROM regions,
only on I/O regions.

I assume it's the BIOS's driver and it's choosing a range in low memory,
but still I'm not sure why its DMA is racing against the PAM update
(which is done very early).  Felix, do you know the answer?
