With that I assume you refer to the 2nd sentence in the comment immediately
ahead of the function. According to my reading, it may imply what you say,
but it certainly doesn't "state" this. Imo the problem was latent already
before, if BOOTSTRAP_MAP_{BASE,LIMIT} were changed to cover at least one
full L3E range. Which isn't to say that ...

... I mind the commit you name to be blamed. It was clearly something I
missed back then.
With the 1st sentence of the description re-worded some:
