So I guess getting a 2.4 uml to work on any split other than 1G/3G is
pretty unlikely. Oh well, I already knew 2.4 was on its way out. So this
might be the thing that really forces me to use 2.6.

2.4 support aside, my aim is to have a single uml binary that will work
on arbitrary host kernels. How difficult will it be to implement support
for dynamic offsets for these pages in skas0?
