Well, but then checking just against the user supplied addr is only half of
the story.
addr = boundary - PAGE_SIZE - PAGE_SIZE / 2;
len = PAGE_SIZE - PAGE_SIZE / 2;
That fits, but then after alignment we end up with
addr = boudary - PAGE_SIZE;
and due to len > PAGE_SIZE this will result in a mapping which crosses the
boundary, right? So checking against the PAGE_ALIGN(addr) should be the
right thing to do.
