Roland,
does the patch below detect the wreckage ?
Thanks,

Roland Dreier reported in http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/2/27/194
[ 8425.915139] BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffffc20001a0a000
[ 8425.919087] IP: [<ffffffff8021dacc>] clflush_cache_range+0xc/0x25
[ 8425.919087] PGD 1bf80e067 PUD 1bf80f067 PMD 1bb497067 PTE 80000047000ee17b
This is on a Intel machine with 36bit physical address space. The PTE
entry references 47000ee000, which is outside of it.
Add a check for the physical address space and warn/printk about the
stupid caller.
