Can you give the following a quick test on that machine? Then, I can send it as a
proper patch later.

Subject: [PATCH] selftests/mm: two fixes for the pfnmap test
When unregistering the signal handler, we have to pass SIG_DFL, and
blindly reading from PFN 0 and PFN 1 seems to be problematic on !x86
systems. In particularly, on arm64 tx2 machines where noting resides
at these physical memory locations, we can generate RAS errors.
Let's fix it by scanning /proc/iomem for actual "System RAM".
Reported-by: Ryan Roberts <ryan.roberts@....com>
Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/all/232960c2-81db-47ca-a337-38c4bce5f997@arm.com/T/#u
Fixes: 2616b370323a ("selftests/mm: add simple VM_PFNMAP tests based on mmap'ing /dev/mem")
