Hi Neil,

thanks for your work on this :)

But it is not that easy. The hash_fn works on the dev_addr, this means
to search all entries which might match you need to scan multiple
hash-buckets potentially.
In fact, you need to scan

	hash_fn(estart) <= idx <= hash_fn(eend)

to be sure. The patch above also lifts up the check_unmap which is not
desired.

Thanks,

	Joerg
