I compiled ip27 kernel and really confused...

head.S:
        PTR_LA          t0, __bss_start         # clear .bss
        LONG_S          zero, (t0)

System.map:
a8000000003b6000 A __bss_start

vmlinux:
a800000000385058:       3c0c003b        lui     t0,0x3b
a80000000038505c:       658c6000        daddiu  t0,t0,24576
a800000000385060:       fd800000        sd      zero,0(t0)

vmlinux.32:
80385058:       3c0c003b        lui     t4,0x3b
8038505c:       658c6000        daddiu  t4,t4,24576
80385060:       fd800000        sd      zero,0(t4)

How does this code work?  Isn't address 0x3b6000 in user space?
