This is the LDT remap area.

This is RSVD + P, so it's a system read access that got a protection
fault due to reserved bits.

This is not actually a kernel paging request, it's all user space, but
it's user space that does a system access.
That's normal - something loading a segment in user space, and thus
accessing the system LDT.
But:

WTF? What's that odd bogus PTE entry?
That's also why it gets a RSVD fault. That's just garbage. All-ones is
not a valid PTE.
The other levels look valid, although it strikes me that maybe we
shouldn't have the user bit set in the kernel page tables. I realize
that we clear it at the leaf node, but..
So the user page table is somehow badly set up.
I don't see *why* it would be badly set up, and that test works fine
for me, though.
It doesn't seem to have anything to do with KASAN, although

The other one is exactly the same thing.
