Yeah, actually I was running on older version of your locking fixes in
generic DAX code which completely disabled PMD faults. Furthermore I've
used ordinary ramdisk as a backing device so alignment could have been an
issue as well.

Thanks. I'll fix the bug (and recheck whether something actually depends on
that assertion) and try testing with PMD faults enabled.
