As said in earlier email your interesting changes force me to hack
arch/alpha/kernel/setup.c #define PARAM if I want to change the kernel
allocation address while I was used to hack _only_
asm-alpha/system.h. That's a step backwards as far I can tell.

I also need the patch to allow compilation. Also it seems you are not
enforcing the right address for the zero page since you are not using a
special section for the allocation. Same for the swapper_pgd.
