Can't this fail and then the pvalidate below would encounter trouble?

Sort of separately, if those vmalloc objections can't be worked
through, did you consider doing something like text_poke() does (create
the temporary mapping in a temporary MM) for pvalidate purposes? I
don't know enough about what kind of special exceptions might popup
during that operation though, might be playing with fire...
