Need to deal with ptep == NULL.  Although that is high impossible.
If ptep == NULL, we may just need to return VM_FAULT_SIGBUS.
I'll add it in the next version.
no?  wouldn't ptep being NULL mean that the ptep has been replaced with
a PMD entry, and thus should return NOPAGE?

Yes, ptep == NULL means that the ptep has been replaced with a PMD entry.
I'll add return NOPAGE in the next version.

Thanks!
