Well, it would affect NetBSD/arm. NetBSD running on ARM-based embedded
systems use VMA vs. LMA to support flash images, etc. The NetBSD boot
loader also uses to distinguish between the address at which to load a
section when the MMU is off vs. where to run it when the MMU is on (kernel).

This would be my preference.
