That does make sense, and indeed it breaks more complex binaries.

As a test I replaced the asm clear_user() in padzero() with the generic
memset()-based implementation from include/asm-generic/uaccess.h.
It does provide better diagnostics, see below.

Who should have mapped this partial .bss page if there is no .data?
Maybe the logic needs to be a bit more complex and check if this page
has been already mapped for .data and in that case don't map it again.
