The fixmaps should be entirely fixed after bootup to constant
mappings, except for the KMAP ones, and they are indexed per-cpu.
That's what my mental model is, at least.
Can you actually find something that changes the fixmaps after boot
(again, ignoring kmap)?
Maybe worth adding some debugging to verify that?
