IIUC kmap_atomic() establishes a mapping in the kernel portion of the
address space, but not a direct map mapping (i.e. not a linear
mapping), right?

Does virt_addr_valid() check for addresses being in the kernel portion
of the address space, or it being a linear mapping? I thought it
checks for the latter.
