Is this patched in any way? I ask because line 134 on 4.1.0-rc2 does not
match up with a BUG_ON. It's close to a PageLocked check but I want to
be sure there are no other modifications.

Otherwise, when was the last time this worked? Was 4.0 ok? As it can be
easily reproduced, can the problem be bisected please?
