From: Alastair D'Silva <alastair@xxxxxxxxxxx> If a memory section comes in where the physical address is greater than that which is managed by the kernel, this function would not trigger the bug and instead return a bogus section number. This patch tracks whether the section was actually found, and triggers the bug if not.
