+#### Trampoline (ea opcode), ARM
+
+The 0xea000000 instruction (with proper offset) is used for an unconditional
+branch to the new code. This means we are limited on ARM32 to +/- 32MB
+displacement and on ARM64 to +/- 128MB displacement.

+The new code is placed in the 8M - 10M virtual address space while the
+Xen code is in 2M - 4M. That gives us enough space.
