And we should really add a lot more sanity checking there.
A debug mode for virt_to_page(),__pa,__va et.al. would probably make sense
and would have caught it.

I used to have that partly in the x86-64 port with VIRTUAL_BUG_ON.
Good idea! Do you have a patch?

Yes. Appended. But it just enables the old NUMA VIRTUAL_BUG_ON()s, more work could be done e.g. by instrumenting pa/va and the non NUMA and i386 case too.

Is anybody working on that? I would volunteer to do it.
