The patch relies on the function vmalloc_to_page ... which will return

will still work.
Huh?  vmalloc_to_page() should work for huge mappings...
It was found while testing on a configuration with framebuffer.
... ah.  You tried to use vmalloc_to_page() on something which wasn't
backed by a struct page.  That's *supposed* to return NULL, but my
guess is that after this patch it returned garbage.
