No, PSE isn't currently supported. You'd need to be allocated 
contiguous 4MB machine-memory regions, for starters.

Well, the machine_to_phys_mapping is just an array of longs. So the 
first 1024 entries are all in the same page. So it's really impossible 
that you get different behaviour accessing entry 374 versus entry 375. 
They should hit the same 4kB page of the machine_to_phys_mapping array!
