But this would be right?

Not that I think this optimization makes sense, I simply do not know,
but to me this change looks technically correct at first glance...

But the changelog is wrong or I missed something. This change can stop
the main loop earlier; if "tmp" is the first vma, or if the previous one
is below the address. Or perhaps I just misread that "not in any vma"
note in the changelog.

No?
