Hmm. I might have confused myself about this. I'm going back and
trying to work out what I was thinking when I suggested it. This
works on 64e because vmalloc space is below the kernel linear map,
right?

On 64s it is the other way around and it is still possible to enable 
flatmem on 64s. Altough we might just not hit the problem there because 
__pa() will not mask away the vmalloc offset for 64s so it will still 
return something that's outside the pfn_valid range for flatmem. That's 
very subtle though.

The checks added to __pa actually don't prevent vmalloc memory from
being passed to it either on 64s, only a more basic test.

I think 64s wants (addr >= PAGE_OFFSET && addr < KERN_VIRT_START) as
the condition.  Could possibly add that check to __pa as well to
catch vmalloc addresses.

Thanks,
Nick
