An older version of this patch already made it to linux-next (commit
b0e08c5) and I've actually hit the NULL pointer dereference.

Moreover, that patch (or maybe another recent pagewalk patch) breaks
/proc/<pid>/smaps. All fields that should have been filled by
smaps_pte() are almost always zero (and when it isn't, it's always a
multiple of 2MB). It seems to me that the page walk never goes below
pmd level.
