    Impact: Tighten bound to avoid masking errors
    
    The definition of MAPPING_BEYOND_END was excessive; this has a nasty
    tendency to mask bugs.  We have learned over time that this kind of
    bug hiding can cause some very strange errors.  Therefore, tighten the
    bound to only need to map the actual kernel area.
