It's looking line number 1, there is no mapping, now we get uncached where we used to get write through. difference in page prot 7f7bbc0e0000, pfn 20000000000e71e4, 8000000000000037, 800000000000002f 0x2f is the vma pg prot which has PWT set in it, 0x37 is the returned pgprot which lacks that bit. not sure where to go from here, suggestions?
