Heh.. that reproducer actually required customization to manufacture the
problem. I'll have to think more about a generic reproducer.

FWIW, I've also just come across a similar post-eof data exposure
failure with this patch, so I'll need to dig into that first and
foremost and figure out whether this is still incorrect/insufficient for
some reason...

Yeah. I'll fix that up.

I don't think so because the idea was to explicitly check for page
presence prior to getting the mapping.
