I can't comment on the concept, but have one nit.

This accesses memory below the buffer if get_cmdline returned 0, which I believe will be the case when someone jokingly unmaps the area (all maybe when it is swapped out but can't be swapped in due to I/O errors).

Sorry for the weird inline posting (Thanks MS Outlook of doom). Anyways, this isnât a nit. This is a major issue that should be dealt with. Thanks.
Also since you are just putting 0 in there anyway I don't see much point in testing for it.
