(Note that this doesn't make much sense until the kernel has been loaded
into memory.  You probably want hbreak instead).

I couldn't get quite the same reproducer, mine was:

$ gdb
(gdb) set arch  i386:x86-64
The target architecture is assumed to be i386:x86-64
(gdb) target remote localhost:1234
Remote debugging using localhost:1234
<bang>

The problem is that gdb attempts to read a few bytes from address
0xffffffffffffffe6 to 0xffffffffffffffff inclusive.

The region it gets is the (newly introduced) master abort region, which
is as big as the PCI address space (see pci_bus_init).  Due to a typo
that's only 2^63-1, not 2^64.  But we get it anyway because
phys_page_find ignores the upper bits of the physical address.  In
address_space_translate_internal then

    diff = int128_sub(section->mr->size, int128_make64(addr));
    *plen = int128_get64(int128_min(diff, int128_make64(*plen)));

diff becomes negative, and int128_get64 booms.

Will send as a proper patch tomorrow... can you give your Tested-by?
