Huh. I am relying on virt_addr_valid() rejecting NULL pointers and
things like ZERO_SIZE_PTR, which is defined as ((void *)16). It looks
like your configuration rejects NULL as an invalid virtual address,
but does not reject ZERO_SIZE_PTR. Is this the intent, given that you
are not allowed to dereference a ZERO_SIZE_PTR?

Adding the ARM64 guys on CC for their thoughts.

It is easy enough for me to make kmem_valid_obj() return false for any
address less than (say) PAGE_SIZE for the upcoming merge window, but I
figured I should check for the longer term.

Thanx, Paul
