Oh.  Smatch uses a model which says that all read/writes come from
vfs_write().  The problem with tracking kernel read/writes is that
recursion is tricky.  So Smatch just deletes those from the DB.

Sure.

I created a static checker warning for this type of thing but it didn't
catch the issue in drivers/vfio/pci/mlx5/main.c because Smatch says that
the bug is impossible.  Which is true.

Smatch doesn't really parse rw_verify_area() accurately.  I just hard
coded that function as accepting values 0-1000000000 for both *ppos and
count.
