Indeed, something is mapped at that address:

455a5000-54f55000   255680K rw-/rw-        NONE      -    DEFAULT uwir=0 sub=0

There's a comment in the file that says the magic 0x50000000 is needed because
there are pointers to that block and the code doesn't do relocating yet:

      /* Presently the shared data structures use pointers. If the
       * files are not mapped into the same area, the pointers will no
       * longer make any sense :(
       * FIXME: In the future make the shared data structures have some
       *        sort of fixup to make them independent between data spaces.
       *        This will also require a rework of the session data stuff.
       */

Unless someone implements the above, it sounds to me like the simplest solution
is to reserve that space early during startup, so that other stuff can't take
it.
