That's true, it doesn't. To get the physical address you need to walk
pagetables as someone (either Roger or Ralf I think) pointed out. I think
there is code in ptrace.c that shows how this is done but it's not really
recommended practice.
So, maybe the vmalloc idea wasn't such a good one after all and some
completely new routine is needed.
