Right, mem_section->section_mem_map has to contain a vmemmap address for
this to make any sense.
You might try the obvious, which is to do what is done for the advertised
vmemmap pages.
Get the page structure offset from the beginning of the vmemmap range:
crash> eval 0xffffea001bb1d1e8 - ffffea0000000000
hexadecimal: 1bb1d1e8
decimal: 464638440
octal: 3354350750
binary: 0000000000000000000000000000000000011011101100011101000111101000

Get the page number (pfn) by dividing that by the sizeof a page (64 on my system):
crash> eval 1bb1d1e8 / 64
hexadecimal: 6ec747
decimal: 7259975
octal: 33543507
binary: 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000011011101100011101000111

Multiply the resultant pfn times the page size to get the physical address:
crash> eval 6ec747 * 4k
hexadecimal: 6ec747000 (29039900KB)
decimal: 29736857600
octal: 335435070000
binary: 0000000000000000000000000000011011101100011101000111000000000000

And then "rd -p" the physical address to see if (1) it exists, and (2) you can
somehow verify that the data is correct -- if that's even possible.
