This info isn't used by the device (this same mapping is coded into nk.exe or some other OEMXIPKernel file, part of what makes it device-specific) - instead it is used by the kitchen, specifically g'reloc.exe or wmreloc.exe to relocate modules into the appropriate VM slots while avoiding the locations used by the XIP. I have always operated under the assumption that these files should NOT change from what you get when you dump the stock ROM for your exact device. I have in the past successfully changed the virtual memory slot sizing when removing stuff from the XIP, but the WM6.5 builds didn't like this so I've since reverted to the stock .ROM and .VM files. My recommendation is to give that a shot.

I believe that the CDMA Touch Pro nk.exe that is out there as a native WM6.5 kernel is a hacked version. Done by a very capable expert, but a hacked version none the less. I don't believe that HTC has released a CDMA Touch Pro test ROM built for WM6.5 so there wouldn't be a true source. I'm not saying this is a problem, but could be a cause of other problems. My $0.02 on this.
why do you think that the cdma tp kernel is a hack ... it is like the earlier kernel for the gsm version honestly non of the kernels for 6.5 except the topaz and gsm diamond have actually matched the builds that they come with
