Any objection to open coding the upper bound instead of using
TASK_SIZE_MASK to make the threshold more obvious?

Printing the raw address will confuse users in the case where the access
straddles the lower canonical boundary.  Maybe combine this with open
coding the straddle case?  With a rough heuristic to hedge a bit for
instructions whose operand size isn't accurately reflected in opnd_bytes.

	if (addr_ref > __VIRTUAL_MASK)
		pr_alert("dereferencing non-canonical address 0x%016lx\n", addr_ref);
	else if ((addr_ref + insn->opnd_bytes - 1) > __VIRTUAL_MASK)
		pr_alert("straddling non-canonical boundary 0x%016lx - 0x%016lx\n",
			 addr_ref, addr_ref + insn->opnd_bytes - 1);
	else if ((addr_ref + PAGE_SIZE - 1) > __VIRTUAL_MASK)
		pr_alert("potentially straddling non-canonical boundary 0x%016lx - 0x%016lx\n",
			 addr_ref, addr_ref + PAGE_SIZE - 1);

This can be conditional on '!error_code', non-canonical faults on the
direct access always have zero for the error code.  Doubt it will matter
in practice, but far calls and other silly segment instructions can
generate non-zero error codes on #GP in 64-bit mode.
