Ok, I enabled some debugging code that’s already in the pmap module, and:

So, it’s trying to enter a mapping past the currently valid kernel VA space.  Usually, pmap_growkernel() is called to expand the kernel VA space (pre-allocate the page tables, etc.). But it’s not happening in this case.  Anyway, should be pretty easy to figure out.
