To be super nitty, you _in theory_ can't necessarily rely on arbitrary VAs
being available even ones at a location that is the very opposite of where
mappings will go by default.

I guess the _ideal_ solution would be to PROT_NONE map a range to ensure
it's there then munmap() bits you don't want to exist, but that'd involve
reworking this whole test and yeah, not worth it.
