I had to additionally add check for pte_none() here to handle physical memory holes in direct mapping.

Looking at lookup_address_in_pgd_attr(), at pte level it is simply returning pte_offset_kernel() and there does not seem to be a check for returning NULL if pte_none() ?

Probably need to fix lookup_address_in_pgd_attr(), to add check for pte_none() after pte_offset_kernel() and return NULL if it is true.

Thanks, Ashish
