Wu-san, I have additonal fix to this patch. Now, *ppos update is unstable..
Could you make merged one ?
Maybe this one makes the all behavior clearer.

==
This is a more fix for devmem-check-vmalloc-address-on-kmem-read-write.patch
Now, the condition for updating *ppos is not good. (it's updated even if EFAULT
occurs..). This fixes that.
