Yeah, that's ugly. The thought was that only the kernel mapping of RAM
would yield a valid address from __virt_to_phys(). Anything else, like
a mapping of I/O space would lead to an invalid PFN. There's probably a
clearer way of doing that that. Other than that, is the general concept
of the patch reasonable?
