It's still present.

Before (in v5), the translation table was in the .data section and
therefore could end up in a different memory section to the boot code.
By moving it to 0x4000, I simplified all that logic because we now
know that the translation table and the boot code are both in the same
1MB memory section, which avoids any problem with the old and new
mappings overlapping.
